[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were wealthy but only bought me very basic things. I think that was a great approach - I learned I could survive on a minimum, work for more if I wanted, and did not need them at all financially once I graduated. It was up to me whether I wanted to pursue high paying careers or lower paying / more interesting ones and I had a good sense of what each lifestyle would be like and I had a good control over my money and ability to manage it when I graduated. Give kids what they need, not what they want. Let them learn how much of a WANT something is and what it means to work for it.[/quote] +1 -- That's how I grew up as well and how we're raising our kids. [/quote]
