Yeah.
Do you worry about that in relation to your daughter? Do you guys live a "wealthy" life?
Not really. I drive my Chevy Blazer with 50,000 miles, five years old, although I have been thinking of getting a new car. We go to nice places on vacation. We don't live frugally. I don't want to overexaggerate it.
So what's your daughter's allowance?
She doesn't have one. She's not into money yet. She doesn't quite get it. I'll tell you one story. I heard her say to another child, "I'm rich." And it upset me. So after the child left, I sat my daughter down and said, "You can't be saying this to people. We're very fortunate." And so on.
And she looks at me like, What are you talking about? She pulls out her change purse, which is stuffed full of pennies and nickels, and says, "But look, Mom, I am rich." I thought, Okay, I don't have to worry about it quite yet.
