I read my post and it did not really answer your question, it was just mother bragging, sorry:)

Is what I was trying to say, is they both learned the value of hard work. They learned to work, AND take care of their money.

My daugther and I went to work on a ranch exercising horses when she was 14 after we sold the trash business. We split the salary. She saved and paid for a 3yr old F150 before she got her license at 16. I made her divide her part of the salary into 3 catagories. Money she could spend immeditatly, short term savings (paid for the truck with this) and long term. Saved for downpayment on a house. She still budgets her money this way and is doing great.

Actually, you did answer my question.

The possiilities were: earn it, marry it, steal it, inherit it.

They earned it.
