My Grandma Rie’s Money Camp is a week long day camp with a focus on finances at age appropriate levels. The sky is the limit on themes. I hold it each year – but yours can be different themes for different camps if you want. Find and visit as many playgrounds/parks in your area together as you can.

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).

My grown kids are also savers and I have high hopes that the grandchildren will follow their example. Helping the parents teach my grandchildren to save is an ongoing project of mine. If you are risk averse, you may lose sleep (and health) worrying about the safety of your finances.

Managing your finances gets a lot more complex and time consuming. Most days I try to do some preparation with my sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren – to help them learn financial concepts and acquire the ability to wisely manage their money. A fulfilled life, to me, is a life of accomplishment.

Wouldn’t it be fun to have a place where our sons, their wives and our grandchildren could come together to play, visit and bond? My differing perspectives on vacation rental finances. Gather the family. All of the above reasons were valid, and actually continue to be valid.

I found pleasure in thinking about giving our children and grandchildren the opportunity to see part of the world they might not otherwise see. We could well afford the cost with no foreseeable problem with our own finances now or at any time in the future. One son is trying to rebuild finances after an expensive year.
