Is It Possible I’m Doing Something Right?
The Son is 14. Despite the fact that he’s a bit quirky and probably has Asperger’s, he’s a pretty typical 14-year-old boy.
Lately he has started drawing my attention to TV commercials for iPhone applications that he thinks are very, very cool. So cool that Mr. Even-Tempered’s eyes get all big and shiny and he exclaims, [...]
A Son’s Epiphany and A Mother’s Lesson
photo credit: Ti H²O
The Son had a financial epiphany recently. As silly as it might seem, it was one of the proudest and most gratifying experiences of my mothering career so far — akin to watching him take his first step or learn to read.
The Son is 14. He has generally shown very little [...]
Suze Orman on Oprah Today: Kids & Money
Let me begin by saying that I know very little about Suze Orman. I’m not familiar with her overall fiscal philosophy, her background, etc. In fact, before today, everything I knew about Suze Orman I learned in a recent SNL skit.
So I watched today’s show with no preconceived notions.
In general, I agreed with most of [...]

The Daughter asked about our Family’s Financial Health
I took a vacation from the news today; didn’t know about the stock market crash until The Husband came home and told me.
My GE stock took another hit today but that’s okay with me — I’m in for the long term and I’ve only invested fun money.
Because I wasn’t watching the market today, I didn’t [...]
Kids & Money: A 15-yo’s Financials
To my regular readers or those reading through my posts in a chronological manner, I apologize for not following a more linear path when discussing how I’ve handled my approach to children and finances. Events happened recently to bring our current financial policies for The Daughter to the forefront of my thinking. I thought, too, [...]
Kids & Money: Putting Baby on a Budget?
There are many schools of thought when it comes to teaching children about finances. It seems to me that a very large percent of PF bloggers and mainstream parents ascribe to a “the sooner the better” philosophy. This is no surprise to me since our society at-large tends to take this stance on everything related [...]
