My grandchildren’s other set of grandparents are just one example. She lost both of her jobs in the course of a month, and they consequently couldn’t meet the mortgage payments on their almost new home as a result.

It is important for each of us to understand the weapons our advertisers have in their arsenals to convince us to part with our money. One of the resources I used with the kids last year in Money Camp to show them how advertisers sell, was a You Tube video called Buy Me That Too: A Kid’s Survival Guide to TV Advertising (Part 1/2).

At my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp this year, we started exploring the different careers that are out there. This can be a good way to pick, as long as you ascertain that there are enough jobs in the field for you to successfully land one with the amount of education you have and that the jobs pay enough to meet your lifestyle needs.

And I now have 2 wonderful grandchildren to love as well. The time when you learn to drink beer and coffee, pull all-nighters, meet lots of new and different people, some who may become your friends for life. In retrospect I felt that I had lost an important time of my life – the college years. Would I do it again? A little.
