As a kid we want something and we whine if we don't get it. We're told "this costs money we don't have right now, honey" or "When you get older you'll see what we mean." Of course sometimes when we feel smart we'll reply "When I get older I"ll buy all the toys I want." and then when we do get older we realize what our parents meant about toys and the money it costs! Of course, also our definition of toys change, which means sometimes the prices go up way too much! lol! In any case, I think that I'd have to agree, as a kid our perspective is different, we think it couldn't be as bad as mom, dad or grandpa and grandpa are making it seem. I mean, after all they have money to pay bills and for our food, also for our clothing, why not for our toys too? Well I'm older now and realize that it's definitely different. With the economy the way it is, it pays to be a smart shopper. Though I also realize I still think as a kid, I want a house and car for my husband and I but know it's alot harder then just buying it, it's paying for everything that goes with it too.

Exactly we budget our money so that we can make it in this world... and in some ways budgeting our money is making us money because if we set aside a certain amount for saving, as well as become an avid coupon clipper we save! You know what I mean?

So, very true, it is much easier as a kid. Life seemed to take a bit of a slide in quality as I became an adult. There are benefits but there are also drawbacks. When I was a child, I could not wait to grow up and become an adult. When I become an adult, I wished I could have found a fountain of youth and reverted back to a child. Back then I did not have to worry about anything else outside of my own little world. It was a much simpler time.

Of course it is easier when we are young kids, with no care in the world....however, as young kids we didn't realize it we had it easy. I think I found it hard even then, and never realized it was going to get harder as we went along....lol

Yes I agree with you. Kids have less worries because they are so innocent and free on what is life all about, how life goes normally, and why people live. As we reach our adult stage, that is now the time that we begin to worry a lot of things. We are too concern about our future, our families, our dreams, our work, our money, our name and everything. How I wish this world will only be filled up with kids, so free, real and innocent.

This is the story of my life. Little did I realize when I moved out of the house I'd be working my fingers to the bone starting at 4 AM every morning just to make ends meet, at a job I could lose at any time. That's why I advise those who are still living at home to enjoy it, while they can...

Child always look for parents care. They just eat, sleep and play or go to school. That is only their world. As they go older a child goes into a developmental stage,physically,mentally,psychologically,emotionally,spiritually and socially. With these developments several factors also develops and among them are their needs to be fulfilled to be able for them to compete within this developments. These needs if not fulfilled will result to what we called problems that they might be encountered.
