One thing they always used to tell me is that "nothing in this world comes easy and free". You have to work hard to get your desires fulfilled.

They're confused about money (among other things) and how to avoid the traps of their parents. In reading their comments, I got the feeling their parents talked to them about money at some point, but didn't necessarily walk the walk.

I think you hit it right on the head. (And your point is not only important with money issues, but in ALL aspects of parenting) One thing my dad did that I really liked is that he matched whatever we put into the bank. For example, if we put $500 into the bank, my dad would $500 into the bank. It was good motivation for both us to save for the future. I love your comment, Michael.

Children aren't educated, but they're not dumb. If mom and dad aren't setting an example by saving, the lesson will be dismisses as more hypocrisy about doing as I say, but not as I do. Kids figure out pretty quickly if mom and dad are savers. They see how credit cards are used, they overhear conversations about bills and they can't help but hear when mom and dad fight about money.
