Part 2
Your Kids and Your Money

Raising kids, and all that comes with it, is an expensive proposition. And, they seem to require more and more money as they get older.

They trade in their Big Wheels for roller blades, the roller blades for expensive mountain bikes, and then the bikes for cars. And we, as parents, are expected to finance all this. Or are we?

Sure, we all want to help our kids as much as we can. Giving them everything they want, however, is not always the smartest, or most responsible, way to go. Chapters 6 through 10 discuss methods of paying for big expenses, such as college and weddings, as well as some limits parents might think about imposing.
