We went to the city today for an eye appointment that my wife had. We than stopped and wife made super for my son and the two granddaughters. Daughter-in-law was out of town with a court case.

I had a great visit with son and things turned into a short financial discussion. We never had talked much about money and never had to with him because he was always very wise with his money and a saver.

Anyway, I just came out and asked him if he was a millionaire yet. Lol kind of as a joke. His answer was about 2 times worth in Net Worth. Wow!!

They both are in their mid-late 30's so they have done well and very proud of them both. It isn't that they save every penny because they spend on a lot of luxury and unnecessary things in my way of thinking.

How they spend is their life, but I do see now with all the things they buy they can and still have done well.

Just wanted to tell someone and this is the only place I would ever tell it too. Very proud and somewhat surprised also.
 
Great story street. I'm sure you are a proud dad and you deserve to be proud.
 
Congratulations on even HAVING a serious conversation with him about finances. I'm sure that can be a bit awkward (on both sides) as we rarely get the opportunity to talk about finances with our kids. I'm glad that the result was a very pleasant surprise.
 
Yup, a proud moment by dad. I suspect that your son enjoyed your discussion as much as you did.

Proud Dad moment!
 
Thanks from all of You. I'm just very happy to have such a responsible heir that grasped the meaning of the dollar growing up.
It could have been the opposite result. Thank You for my moment of excitement and being proud of their accomplishments.
There is way more to life than money but was very humbling accomplishment for their age.
 
Congrats to you for raising a financially aware child.
It is always so nice to look back on the kids and realize what wonderful people they become.
 
A great reason to be proud.
 
Congratulations. They are doing well. Hoping my young ones are on their way as well.
