A mom in Texas got mad at her teenage son for taking the brand new BMW for a drive. So she drove around with her daughter trying to find him, got him to pull over, opened his door, and started beating him with a belt on the side of the road.
Okay parents with teens. I'm sure you can relate to this Mom's letter to her rebellious son. I think it's between the ages of 13-17 that some not all teens think they know it all. This Mom lays out a cold dose of reality to her kid.
The month of August is generally the time when most parents start the cumbersome task of back to school shopping. I think it is the perfect opportunity to teach kids about money and specifically budgeting money.
Growing up as a kid, I thought I had it pretty tough. I had some strict parents, especially my dad. But after listening to some other things people had to endure, I feel pretty lucky!
