I have started an education savings plan (RESP in canada) for my daughter. The government puts in a certain percentage based on what I put in there. The lady at the bank said that I should reinvest that money in the stock market...

Whenever I tell my 14 year old to do something she either gives me this look or flat out refuses to do it. I don't want to spank her, she is 14, and I know that she feels no one loves her enough. But she will not talk to me about...
