Waited until my senior year of high school and decided it would be to my advantage to invest my money (had about 18k at the time) in myself rather than open up shop. A 19 year old doesn't always have things figured out, and in the end I'm glad I got my degree. Being my own boss one day is still an itch on the back of my neck though.<BR/><BR/>When I was in college I had that chip on my shoulder that I would make a ton of money going into IT. Money is here, but when you are just getting started it takes time to get to where I would like to make. My credit card and student loan debt levels did not feel like a huge deal at the time, but I am now paying for those choices. In college it was all on me to pay for because my parents don't understand the value of college, they only see how much it costs. I got through college riding credit and student loans along the way because I didn't have much of any income to speak of.<BR/><BR/>Now that I woke up to the reality of what this work/money/life thing works, I'm trying to change directions. Using credit is different than needing credit, so if I completely remove the need for it, there is no reason to use it period. We all have to make our mistakes and learn from them, but debt is one of those things I never want my children to face. I don't think children should know all of their parent’s financial situations, it is not their business. They see what parents do and mimic those actions, (good and bad) so teaching them that the principles of saving and spending money, paying for stuff, and not using credit to do it is more important. Kids will gain more value by learning that work gets them money which lets them buy things. If they don't have enough money to buy something, they must save their money in order to have it. I just hope my wife keeps on board with this idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
