Default Re: Financial advisor vent

More than likely suggesting teachers take a second job in the summer is as natural to him as telling you to pay off credit card debt. He is offering advice on how to improve a financial situation...and sometimes, having a second job works.

However, spending time with your kids cant be measured in dollars and cents. Even if you could make extra...the kids wont remember a little more in the bank account...but they will remember mom spending time with them and all of the fun things they did with you during their summers.

Appreciate that he was offering ideas...and then enjoy the fact that you are in a position to say- thanks, but no thanks.

(Oh, and good for you for choosing to spend this time with your kids...Obviously, you are a very dedicated mom!!!!)
