I've been away for a few days, so decided to post here instead of in the original thread, since I wasn't sure if you'd see it! ;-) Thanks for all the detail on your budgeting plan for your son. Sorry if I made you feel like you had to defend your philosophy - I guess one post isn't enough to really get across the whole plan and thinking behind your financial goals! Now you've probably written a whole book about it! ;-) It sounds great - and you've obviously really thought it through and have what works for your family ;-) Unfortunately it won't help me at this point because my 15 year old has only been my son for 7 months so far, so he comes to me with NO clue about money, and I don't have the luxury of building these skills over a period of years, as you did with Connor, LOL. I'm still working on how to speed up the process (financial boot camp?) without having him freak out and shut down completely! Especially since we have issues that are bigger than money management....*sigh* - it is hard to know where to start with a kid like him! :-)
