I give them opportunities to earn a dollar a day towards that “cool hot wheel track” they so wanted to have. And that they may not have it until they have enough money earned towards the object of their wish lists. I call this a lesson of delayed gratification. I believe that if this lesson is imbibed early into their spending DNA, the yoke of a debt ridden life will not necessarily be a part of their life now or tomorrow. I am definitely passionate about this cause that I know it is worth every penny of investment to explore outside help and services that is consistent to this goal of giving my kids this early advantage in life. To me as a parent, it is a worthwhile legacy.

But again, no such threats to the congresswoman as she had poignantly observed people simply do not care and you can not make them care with the exception obviously of the blond. I may not be blond, but I am legally an American who CARES. How???? Please excuse me... I have a situation here with the kids... see my next p How ironic is the truism of the message of the movie that I am surprised it is allowed to have become a movie.
