It all depends on what priorities the child learns at her parent's knee. I was raised on one hand that happiness existed in the heart and soul and not in the pocket book, then my mother got me for awhile and taught me that happiness is the almighty dollar. Confused me, but I think the almighty dollar concept stuck because I become decidedly unstable when poor ! Children of affluent parents are very often unprepared to handle money because it has no meaning to them, being so readily available all the time. My sister and I talk all the time about how our children are spoiled rotten because they have everything they ever wanted. The didn't have to do without like she and I did. There are times I think I should take every thing away from Kade and give her some cardboard boxes and a stick to play with. Jack Childers in OKC
