You’re right, I just want to make sure I teach my kids about how to balance as well as how to make good decisions and wise choices.

I think one of the things we can do with unintended consequences for our kids of any age is to completely sacrifice our own principles, plan or wisdom in order to satisfy a “crisis” or big-ticket “emergency” or event for them (read “wedding” here, among other things). When we get out of control because of our kids’ needs, crises, adventures, or wants, and have a hard time saying “no” at some level, we send them the wrong message and send us the wrong consequences. Do you agree?

(Oh, and don’t ask me how I know that! )

Very well stated, Ron. I think having a financial plan and financial goal(s) is extremely important. It’s easy to mindlessly blow money because you aren’t paying attention to the bigger picture. It’s also easy to worry too much about money and forget about living life. I guess there is a fine balance in there.
