[quote=Anonymous]I strongly disagree that 14 is too young to understand the value and significance of the gift his grandfather had given him. I talk about money frequently with my children, they understand (age 13 and 10) the different options / choices we have available because of our current financial status (yes we can afford for you to join the travel soccer team and the AAU basketball team at X dollars per year because we live below our means and balance savings with lifestyle). I would be deeply mortified if he made that type of entitled and careless comment to any family member. After sufficient discussion and punishment (I think withholding the gaming computer for a month was a great thing) I would look for a one week personal finance camp (Montgomery College and Spark Business Academy have a few options) and include him more frequently in household finance discussions.
