Audio Tidbits For This Week.

In case you're new to my site, I'm a huge proponent of not being in debt. I encourage everyone to adopt this lifestyle, simply because it makes life easier to not have payments. And, we could all use a little easier time in life, right? Plus, when you don't have payments, you have money. It's amazing how that works.

The audio clips today, relate mostly to kids and money. My parents did a great job teaching me about saving, but I think the way this fella on the radio does the job of raising his kids is superior. So, give it a listen, and begin making changes to the way you and your kids handle money!

Kids and Credit History, College Funds, Kids and Cars
Here we learn the reasons why it is not necessary for a kid to have a credit card, how much you should save for college, and the best way for kids to get a car when they turn 16.

Work equals Money, an important life lesson.

His and Hers? No. Ours.
The caller has been married 16 years and still uses the pronouns "his" and "hers" instead of "ours". Indeed as Dave says, a marriage is about unity. Not a joint business venture. Bottom line is, you can't have a successful and healthy marriage when things are considered as "his" and "hers". It should be "ours".

Good stuff to remember for everyone out there who is getting married. Likewise, one shared checking account is the way to go.

Teenagers and their stuff

Personal Responsibility
I am all about this topic. Glad to see other parents teach this too, because it is the way life works and those who don't grasp it will be doomed for the rest of their lives to struggle in every thing they do. Why struggle when you don't have to? More adults need to grow up and act their age instead thinking they are entitled to things, because no one is entitled to anything.

You are entitled to nothing.
