Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Kids learn by example. After watching me sweat it out for 20 yrs (okay, did not work as long as some of you but it felt like it as I was on pager even when off duty), then retire semi-early at 52, they take great pleasure in telling me who else has retired. My words come out of dtr's mouth when dealing with her kids ... she is trying like hell to get the mortgage paid off by the time she is 50 ... her hubby is heavily into contributing to his 401K. Son is buring the 'midnight oil' by putting in long extra hours to get ahead, planning on leaving at 50. Kids get it
