[quote=Anonymous] Have you shown them the budget? I insist that we update our spreadsheet every couple of months, OP. My husband is incapable of remembering how little we have and has grand plans of being able to afford X, Y, Z. I have to sit him down in front of the spreadsheet and point numbers out for him to admit that no, we don't have enough money. My kids still take me at my word when I tell them we can't afford stuff, but I'm perfectly willing to show them the budget, which includes what we save each month for our retirement and their college funds. They need to learn this stuff too. [/quote]
