[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Gads. I just realized my son has a net worth of over 100K and he's an idiot with money.[/quote]

This is a weird flex.

I also don’t understand people who prefer their kids think they’re poor.

I grew up in a working class family and now have a 300K HHI (which I realize is “DCUM poor” but I know enough to know we are very blessed).

My kids don’t think we’re rich by any means because they see a lot of kids with bigger homes, nicer cars, fancier vacations etc. but they absolutely know we are very fortunate. We have a home in a safe, beautiful area. They attend schools they love. We have plenty of food in the house at all times. They are involved in expensive extracurriculars. They always have shoes that fit and a warm coat. We have good insurance so we can go to the doctor whenever we need.

I have absolutely talked with them about how blessed we are even if we cannot afford every single thing we’d love to have.

Some of you are destined to have your kids grow up posting on DCUM in 20 years about how “poor” they are on their 800k salary with trust fund because you have not given them a realistic understanding of money.[/quote]
