[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Camping. Raise a contributor, not a consumer. [/quote] +1000 I am the poster who remarked above about not spending money on a plastic world, when the actual world is so rich in experiences. As we raise our children we teach them. My DC, now an adult, loves to explore nature and other cultures. She would not save up thousands to try a new ride designed to market a new movie. She cannot be led around by the nose by ads. She recognizes authentic value, not packaged adventure and culture, which is actually just a vehicle for taking your money out of your pocket. I have not doubt many kids like Disneyland, but what are you teaching them when you would rather invest in that instead of exploring the real world?[/quote] Unless you have extremely limited funds you can do both. We did Disney once. All of the many other trips we take are exploring nature and other cultures. It doesn’t have to be an either/or. [/quote]
