As mentioned, they spend lavishly today without an eye on tomorrow. I try to teach the kids the value of "LONG" money; earnings that will last and will reap returns in the long run. Too many kids get caught up in the flashy lifestyle and drawn in by "SHORT" money "grasshopper" scenarios thinking only of the upfront cash. Now that the economy has taken a downturn, they are seeing that cash tomorrow is never promised. Things are tight, but I can only hope to educate our youth to learn their lessons today in order to prosper in the future!
