Great article. Thanks for sharing your experience. Perception is our reality. You will stand in your daughter's judgement one day and they will have their say in how they think you did. if you try to teach them about budgeting and thrift, they can say you were too hard on them on their finances a a Kid. It's their call even though you'll do the best you can.

That’s my baseline pretty much—as long as I learn from where they went wrong, then that’s progress!
