When I came across this, it reminded me that I had read Joe and Robin's book 20 years ago.. It has had a profound influence on how I view money and work ever since. I bought several copies and made all my six kids read it. Hard to tell if it takes, but at least they are exposed to his ideas. I don't know how you get to his ending place, but most of us need to just step back from this insane consumption and get a life. Everyone should read this book and take from it what they can at their station on the journey. My son-in-law turned me onto your site a while back.

For example, was paying the premium for a new car versus a one-year old model by trading six months of your precious never-to-be-recaptured life really worth it? (Never, I'd say!)

I'm glad you think it might interest your son! I'd love to hear about the developments. If you can even get him just saving the 10% now; that's a good enough lesson at his age, I think... or show him how he can earn more through dividends. It's always nice to see that paycheck. It could be very motivating for a child or teen, too. Thanks Cy. I’m glad you think it might interest your son! I’d love to hear about the developments.

He just started working for us some (we have a small business). His first pay was $100.00. He, of course, was thrilled and thought he was rich. Most the kids he knows are stockers at stores or working some fast food jobs. He had a lot of questions. I was bringing up many of the points to him that you are manking here. I really wanted him to begin to think through work life in a serious way whether he worked with us or soemone else. I'm emailing him the link to this article (even though he's in the other part of the house- LOL- were techies for sure) and see if he'd like to go halves on the book you recommended. We'll buy it through your link. Glad to know about your site. I'll explore it more. This article is very timely for me and my 16 yr. old son.
