Do you guys think kids should worry about how much money their parents have and how much they make etc.? In my opinion I think kids should just do good in school and not worry about anything like that. Most parents don't like it when their children ask them "How much do you make?" or "How much money do you have?". What do you guys think?

I dont think they should worry about it but I do think that they need to be aware of the limitations of the household budget in terms of not always being able to have everything they want. I dont think it does any harm for them to realise that things need to be worked for and saved for, in preparation for adult life.

I agree Wizzy, I also think they should be aware of their parents budget so they know they cant have everything they want. I also think they should have a job to be prepared for adult life. Very well put.

My younger sister has been worrying about this recently. She has a cell phone and everything, but she worries about my mom paying bills and things. She's asked a few times if she could give mom all the money in her bank account to pay for food and things. It is very sweet, but she really should NOT be worrying about this yet. I mean really, she's only ten years old.
