The stocks and cash I have received from my parents over the years make up about 200K of my 300K net worth.
thats impressive....i'd like to hear more!!
My son is 2, and ive been worrying about this a lot. i find myself to be very financially savvy, MUCH MUCH more so than my mom, and somewhat moreso than my dad. I THINK it was because I gre up 5 days/week with mom, watching her struggle, bounce checks due to calculating errors, etc. I remember driving by real houses with grass (as opposed to apartments) and thinking, "Wow, i wish we could be rich like that and have a home. Im gonna get em one of those one day" To this day, my mom lived only in apartments, and now a condo. I bought my first home at 19.
I like the idea of a large allowance to cover ALL expenses....very neat idea.
