Love Dave Ramsey. We've been through two of his courses. Highly recommend them. My 3 kids hated coming home from school on Fridays. Why? That was house cleaning days. The three of them, along with me, would clean the house top to bottom. Of course, no pay, but mom made a great meal those nights. Mom did not help with the house cleaning. I wanted her to have the day off other than that meal. When I say cleaning, I mean everything to toilets, ceiling fans, windows, mopping, vacuuming, counters..the whole house. We told all three of our children that if you want the lifestyle you have now, you must get educated. We took them to places like Banff, Breckenridge, and other places like that for skiing. I taught all three of them to ski, and they have all outdone me. They are all MD's and are doing very well.

Thanks for watching Ron and for sharing that about raising your kids and how they've turned out. I've coordinated FPU 3 times - great experience.
We were the same with the whole allowance. Taught them to work towards what they want.
Great. How many and how old are your kids now?
