I think these kids are in for a huge suprise!!! They dont know what minimum wage is & they think thier starting salary will be more than 50k & more than 80% are underestimating the cost of a home well someday they will have a huge wakeup call & I actually feel sorry for them when they do.

I am sad though that people dont teach the values of budgeting & investing like they used to. I hope my kids are learning these things. I teach them about coupons & like to get free stuff & they do too. I have had my 10 yr buy bonds with her allowance. And I am trying to teach my 10 yr old how to budget her allowance also. I really truly hope they are learning something good from it all. I know my dh is a no win situation so I have to work on the kids hoping they pick up my spending habbits & mine & dh's work ethics.
