Preparing Teens for Financial Responsibility
Question: We have two teenage daughters, ages 17 and 16, who are both in high school and work in the family business. We’ve done our best to teach them how to handle their money properly, including how to spend, save, and give. Also, they’ve both been saving for college. My husband thinks it would be a good idea to start charging them rent to prepare them for life once they leave home. What do you think?

Why Can't She Get Another Job?
Question: I listen to you often and enjoy your radio show, but why don’t you ever ask women to go to work? When a family is broke, and the woman is at home raising one child who is already in the fifth grade, why can’t the wife get a “second job?”

Save For Retirement Before College

Dishonesty is Not the Best Policy
Question: I don’t hide debt from my spouse, but I do hide money from her. I’ve been squirreling away money for emergencies without her knowledge. She’s not terrible with money, but she always finds something to spend it on. We were never able to save anything before I started doing this. After hearing you talk about “financial infidelity,” I began to worry about her reaction when she finds out I’ve been doing this. What’s your advice?

The Blessing of a Baby Doesn’t Have to Break the Bank
When most people think of hard economic times, they think of being laid off, not being able to pay the bills, and maybe even moving to a smaller house. Some people go so far as to not have children when times are tough.
