This is what parents are for. We have one about to turn 23 and working full time as well as studying. He is very good at budgeting because through his teenage years we taught him.

Our other child almost 21 is still at uni but works part time.He also is good with money, for the same reasons, although often broke because he does not earn a lot.

See my earlier post. Parents with no / poor money skills can't teach their kids good money skills.

The poor get blown to hell by a typhoon, and get left to slowly die , or descend into anarchy because their government can't cope. I wonder how many people here have donated to help. My mother has, and all of her friends, they are pensioners, they know hard times, during the depression. Makes you wonder, no one here has actually gone thru really hard times, & I say a few would not give a tinkers cuss about anything but spending money on their toy. Such is life, as some one once said, Bob

A typhoon? I think the rich refer to it as a business opportunity....you know, like most wars.
