[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come to think of it, even in HS kids may blab. I remember working a summer job as a junior with a kid who lived in an affluent area and one day he rattled off a list of his neighbors and how many millions each were worth. We never discussed this in my home so it made an impression on me. I’m guessing now that this was discussed at his home either directly or overheard. Maybe he was shocked, too. He was otherwise a decent normal person. Be careful what you share, when. [/quote]

yeah, you have to know your kid. I would be shocked if mine talked about how much money we have--of course, never say never. I've emphasized that talking about family money is quick way to look like a douche because other kids will have more/or less--and both scenarios just make you look bad. Also, we had a job issue some time back- it was a fully grounding experience for our entire family. We don't take things for granted the way we used to and my DS has been keen to learn more about investments and financial planning/security since that terrible experience. [/quote]
