Well, I guess that is the difference is that my son has a 4 year degree in a technical field and works for one of the largest companies in the world.

He financially is doing well and is saving/investing almost 80% of what he makes. In other words he is not "stretched out".

I did all a I could in teaching him the things he needed to know as an adult.

They don't do beer, drugs, or cigarettes, but they do gym, multiple vitamins,martial arts, and protein drinks.

By the time he gets married, finances will not be one of his worries.

What I used to call my kids are now full grown adults and proud of them.

If I did not train them well when they were young, it is a little late for me know.
