[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2204792, member: 52145"] it really comes down to the parents. when my children turned 15 i told each of them if they didn't go to college they were out of the house in 3 years. i reminded them of that often. we also gave them the tools to be self-sufficient . chores, encouraging odd jobs. learning how to balance a bank book, staying away from credit cards , buying used instead of new, saving and thriftiness, etc. etc. basically the same values we were taught by our depression era parents. they are all doing pretty well. our concern is that it takes both parents working to make ends meet but it is still possible to have a good life if you are smart.
