I'll bet it is, Adam. I wonder what you're doing about it.

That is a very good point!

I shared this quote because of a radio report I heard a week or two ago. A man, who was either a millionaire or billionaire, was talking about how he started with nothing and through hard work he attained his money. Now, he said, he had the problem of how to teach his children about money. He wanted them to have a good life with better circumstances than when he grew up. And yet the fact that he had to work for his success is what made him so wealthy. He isn't seeing that in his children.

I've always liked him. I can't know personally but he seems level headed. Hopefully, his kids will learn by comparison to other celebs. On a side note, I just recently watched Punch-Drunk Love for the first time (it's 11 years old). I loved it. He has a wider range than some people give him credit for.

Luckily, I never had that problem with my children. Luckily--I think. On the other hand, not sure I would have minded. It does seem that instilling values should be finance-free. I think of the Romney children, who seem to have inherited decent values despite growing up affluent.

I think Will is right on the money with that thought!

I agree, Linda Sue. Probably why so many lottery winners end up unhappy after they win.
