Sherrie,

Couldn’t there be some way to give them every opportunity, but make the actual transfer of money conditional upon them doing or being something first, rather than just giving it to them?

My wife and I have been discussing this very topic. How to raise our four children and subsequently establish a legacy (grandchildren and beyond) that will not fall into the same rut of poverty and wage-slavery our current and previous family & freinds have. We have noted some families have had success with this, but like you mentioned there seem to be far more that have not. It seems to be more important to show them by our actions, allow them to experience business/investing vs. 9-5 work, and introduce them to mind developing information (books, audios, seminars, etc.) Deserve/entitlement thinking seems to breed other problems in ones life. I don't want to contribute to that type of thinking in my children. Good stuff Alan. I like your thinking. Great point! My wife and I have been discussing this very topic.

Good stuff Alan. I like your thinking.

But I have to disagree with you. Every parent (i guess there are exceptions) wants there life to easier than theirs. And you want to give your child opportunity. But of course before you are willing to do this for them they must be responsible individuals. What would be the point if they weren't. It is called upon us to build an inheritance for our children.

I love a little, or a lot or controversy. I agree with you on this issue 96.4% (Pretty good considering I like to argue everything.) I think I am going to change the spelling (but not the pronunciation) of my name to jEEson. (The capitalization, and lack of, is on purpose, not a mistake, and there is one of those symbols that looks like two dots over the second E and a squiggly-line over the o. WARNING: I will be offended if you pronounce my name incorrectly from now on! Beautiful post! I love a little, or a lot or controversy.
