Default Re: teaching money skills

I guess she couldn't relate to the interest on the mortgage because she has no invovlement in making your mortgage payments. Pizza, and most dinners, i imagine, are always taken care of by her parents, so that, too, is not compelling to her.

What really matters to her, in terms of material possessions? The lastest CD from her favorite group, that new pair of jeans, a new bike? How, ordinarily, does she get these things? I agree with previous responder, you can't teach the value of money if she never has to work for something she wants.
