What a great idea, FW!! Kids starting out, whether it's getting married, or just graduating high school will listen to a professional before they will hear what Mom and Dad tell them! Hopefully Mom and Dad have set a good example, but that doesn't mean they will follow suit!
It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter
That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived ! -
when I was newly married and a farm wife, the county extension office had a class for new farmers. Our first assignment was to keep track of every penny (and I mean penny for the first month) and assign it to a category. There were many but the household ones were food for daily use, food for entertainment, paper supplies, cleaning supplies, medications, and then miscellaneous which we had to explain. We did that tedious process for about six months, and then it got reduced a little bit. Still a lot of categories so you cannot say everything is "groceries" I do not do it on paper any more but I do do it in my head. The lessons learned have stuck with me for 47yrs. I learned that everything you buy in the grocery store is not food to eat and everything you buy at the clothing store (do they have those anymore) is not something necessary to wear. We are now almost fifty years later and have a heck of a lot more discretionary money but the lessons have lived with me.
