[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might have a different opinion than everyone else, and I haven't read all of the answers, but my parents allowed me the opportunity to volunteer as a young person instead of forcing me to get a job for pay.[b] I don't have any bad money habits as a result[/b], and my volunteer work really helped me in the future with college admissions, graduate admisions, and future job searching. I got opportunities that I don't think my friends working at McDonalds had.

My parents, however, didn't indulge my every whim with regards to money. Sure, I got the necessities, and didn't really have to worry about money when I was in high school and college, but I could never go to expensive restaurants, buy expensive shoes and clothes, or fancy gadgets. [/quote]

So? 
Your one tiny experience doesn't mean that just letting a kid volunteer and make no income will guarantee they are good money managers.  Maybe you should have went with a paid job, maybe you could have gained some common sense.[/quote]
