My family lives in an affluent area, but I don't want my kids to take money for granted. I'm taking four steps to teach them good financial habits.

      Every parent wants to spoil their kids. So they have it better than they had at their age. It’s just how it is. Your parents couldn’t afford Lego? You will buy the biggest set etc

          He just made a small comma error, here is the rectified version:

          It’s not the kids’ fault in any of this. Make it about the parents instead.

          Cordially,

          Idiot
