Hey guys, been a lot on my mind lately. What do you guys think about having childrens?
I am just afraid they are going to turn into trust fund brats. Incompetent. And not knowing the value of money and being street smart.
Any tips? How do you make sure you don’t raise your children into brats and dumbasses?

Bro you are a prospect in corporate finance and you're talking about trust funds for your kids, how about you get a job first?
Bruh. I work for whom adopted me and basically is going to inherit this family office.
"Whom" RIP lol
"Childrens"? 😂😂😂
“Childrens” is like saying “sheeps” or “deers” - it’s funny.
I’m new here but you’re everywhere haha
The OP asked ‘how not to raise dumbasses’ and can’t spell Children.... if you don’t understand it by now just please throw more MS at me please... 💩💩💩
In France we refer to having a child is childrens.
What
I'm going to spoil my kids, but not until they hit like 30-35.
Childrens what
In the event this isn't a troll, this is the conundrum all parents are faced with. How to make sure your kids are not total idiots is a perpetual struggle any parent faces. If you're wealthy and having kids then you'll obviously be worried about your kids being spoiled and leaning on your money so there's a line you have to draw in terms of not super spoiling them but also having them exposed to the means you live by.
There's no right answer to this question but my point is just know several folks are faced with the same question every day
Definitely not a troll.
Is it sick if I want to send my kids to a family far far away to learn about the value of money first then pop up later in their life? Is it toxic?
Candidly yes it is. Ask yourself why you're not able to do that any why you need to lean on some other family to teach those values? And what effect would that have on your kids not growing up with your family?
Like many people on this forum, I grew up in a well off family (upper middle class). Both of my parents were pretty typical middle class when they were raised, but they both ended up with careers where they are very successful. They raised me very modestly - we take 1 or maybe 2 vacations per year, they spend money on experiences and education and health related areas (sports and gyms and good food), but not on material goods. Theyve always had my back in case I needed financial support, but theyve never allowed me to completely mooch off of them. Ive learned the importance of living below my means and saving for the future. I want to live a life where I can send my kids and maybe even gradkids to private school, take my family on nice vacations with value ans cultural significance, and make sure my family can cover medical care. I dont want to buy my kids a nice new car or the newest videogame console. If you learn where money is best spent to have legit longterm benefits and save money by not buying useless goods, then you will raise your kids well.
Thanks for sharing man. Just got caught in a washedup moment where I was contemplating wtf am I even working towards for if my kids are going to be jackasses.
Nicely said. Grew up this way too and now am very thankful for it.
Ask your parents, they learned what not to do the hard way
Few things irritate me more than people who add an “S” to the end of words - so, so annoying.
Read the thread.
Basically, even when the French spell English words incorrectly, they claim it is right because ‘that’s how we say it in France.” XD
