[QUOTE="xjmarc, post: 711472, member: 2494"] Back when I was in high school we took a class where we had a made up job and got paid, paid bills, balanced a check book etc. Got graded on how well we kept up with it. I'm old though and most people don't even know how to wright a check. As far as basic skills I credit my grandfather, uncles and father. They would pay me to change spark plugs, oil and such from the time I was about 10. Me and one uncle would buy old lawn mowers and fix them up and sell them. That's how I got money as a kid, didn't know what an allowance was till I was much older but never got one. My youngest brother, 16 years younger, was coddled and still is to an extent but he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and knows more about cars than a lot of mechanics. I see it a lot with kids not caring about the basic things because mommy and daddy will handle it but there will come a time. Our country is a bit screwed with this next generation. [/QUOTE]
