Daughters and sons of very wealthy families sometimes want to disown the family wealth in order to prove themselves. Providing college money can help cushion that murky time between high school graduation and fully leaving the nest. College graduates have historically been more financially successful than non-college graduates.

Alayna graduated high school and moved away to college, all the while working on the book. One of Melissa’s daughters had a life-threatening medical emergency that required a long hospitalization and persistent follow-up. As always, life got in the way during the 2 years we spent writing FULL. What do you hope readers walk away with?

Our oldest daughter entered first grade. Life is very rushed during the week now and I feel like it's not going to slow down until June 2028 when our youngest graduates from high school. I was nursing a babe, had two kids in diapers, and prayed I didn't smell of breast milk when my husband came home from work. Like a bang.

If you have the knack for your DSLR, a photo session would be a perfect idea for new parents, soon-to-be high school or college graduates, or a family portrait. This is a perfect gift for the newly married couple or a college graduate leaving the nest on your list. Give your Gift of Organization. Family Heirlooms. Yes, I said it.

This Sunday my daughter will celebrate her 4th Mother’s Day and I’ll celebrate my 40th! I always loved the handmade gifts my daughter gave me when she was young; the macaroni necklaces, the plaster of paris handprints, the crayon drawings. Each year has presented new and exciting challenges as a mom.

Wasn’t it just yesterday that I graduated college? She has been such a joy with all the giggles and baby’s “firsts” – and my husband and I have learned that 3 kids REALLY does mean you are outnumbered. :) I’m looking forward to watching her grow older and share in more “mother and daughter” activities. or got married?

I graduated from State U with a liberal arts degree in the early 1970s – when there was a world wide recession followed by stagflation. But, at least I graduated without debt. I’m not sure that my two daughters-in-law would agree that you can get to the status of working as an RN without a 4 year degree (BSN) in nursing.

Written by my daughter, Brittany Madden. Between living expenses, student teaching in Barcelona, and being a new baby college graduate, my funds had gotten pretty low. As you all may remember from a previous post , I was lucky enough to get a Professional Internship at Walt Disney World! I was just so excited, and prepared for months.

I home-birthed both of my daughters. I bought it when I had a job offer after I graduated from college. We were long distance from one another for 6 of those 9 years before we got married, due to my job at the time and his pursuit of higher education in a different state. I was 36 & 38 when I had children. It was a great car.

My 6 month old baby was in the audience watching her Mom graduate. My daughter gave me purpose. Of course it’s no where near ideal to be a teen parent, and I would never want that for my own daughter, but it’s also not the end of the world. That was the first time in a really long time I was proud of myself.

I also assumed I’d get a certain salary when graduating that I now know would have been exceptional. I read a book called “Ask For It: How Women Can Use Negotiation to Get What They Really Want” when I graduated law school and it changed my life. I love the picture of you and your daughter under the umbrella; so cute!

I didn’t even realize that most jobs required a doctorate in Psychology to really use the knowledge in a career. Pick based on the amount of prestige the job offers.

Our daughter is 24 and was adopted from Eastern Europe when she was one week short of a year old. He married the love of his life almost two years ago, so now we have a daughter-in-law, too. I learned from the best, but I believe that a personal finance course should be a requirement for both high school and college graduation.
