[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She might have some financial concerns that will need addressing. Adults have a better understanding of the overall picture but so many teens are worried about money when sudden changes like this happen. [/quote]

Money is your concern.  Could you be any more cold and uncaring.  [/quote]
DP. I have a teenager who is always concerned about money. Our household income is over $400k, we have very substantial savings, we’ve got her college expenses covered by a 529, and she’s never had to go without anything, but she has anxiety, so anytime there’s an unexpected expense or one of us changes jobs, her first question is do we have enough money. It’s not at all unreasonable for a 16 year old to wonder if a parent’s sudden, unexpected death will lead to financial hardship. It’s probably not something they think about immediately, but it would be surprising if it never occurred to them.[/quote]

This is exactly what I meant! Thank you for saying it much better than I did! [/quote]
