You get to enjoy all the cute moments and hand back the kid when they stink or act out! We spoiled our children and we apparently are even more intent on doing so with our grandchildren! My parents were somewhat more interactive with their grandchildren (my kids). Why are we spending more on our grandchildren?

My sister-in-law and her husband had one that they used and rented out and indicated that it was doing well. I wanted a place for our family to gather – adult children and grandchildren along with us. Unfortunately, I was over optimistic about how many days per year the condo would rent. Hint: not mine.

My grown kids are also savers and I have high hopes that the grandchildren will follow their example. To learn to live within your means is one of our primary family money values. Helping the parents teach my grandchildren to save is an ongoing project of mine. Both are now old enough to open a bank savings account.
