Hi katkat I guess we all need money somehow or rather in order to survive. As for parents, it is our duty to make sure that our children get the best education possible. So, the parents are the one who has to be doing the hard work now and hopefully when our children have completed their education, they would still remember us.

Your son is really lucky to have you and your husband as his parents. It is good that you start teaching him while he's still small. I'm sure he is going to grow up to be a fine young man.

Hi katkat7797, it's true that we need money to maintain our living expenses. Without money we can't move even a single pace in this material society. That's why we are often told that Money talks in society To be frankly majority of people are study and working hard to get ample revenue which would enable them to live comfortable and luxurious life. As parents we wish to see our kids live better life than us therefore we work diligently to earn more income to let our loving kids to get education from school with good reputation and environment, etc. It's sure that we need considerable expenses to send them to such ideal school. Other than education, transport, we give them healthy and nutritious food, and all kinds of daily essential stuffs... And for people who are not wealthy to run any business like me the solely way to get money is to work hard Happy posting and have a nice day!

Moral education is pretty essential to kids It's sad that many parents have neglected this. It's a great shame that many do not alert that luxurious living without well and authentic realization about what is living a healthy and significative life. And it's so sad that many misunderstand the true meaning of life and keep on pursuing wealth and fame. Parents spend most of their time making money to give as many as best things to their kids until can't eke out any spare time to get along with their kids as well as other family members Admittedly kids can enjoy living in all the good condition, but lack of warm and harmonious family life that is quite important during their healthy growth would affect their life after they have grown up. Usually moral education are cultivated to them unconsciously and gradually day after day if they can enjoy normal family living until they have grown up

Hi! For parents, they will be really working for the sake of their children. I'm single so I'm working for myself. I need money more importantly for my studies because I'm taking up graduate studies. I also need money for my own hobbies, luxuries, other needs and wants. I also need to work to secure my own future. I can't depend on my mother forever or to any of my siblings. They've got their own responsibilities so I only have myself to take care of me.

I am a career minded person. I like to keep busy with the jobs I enjoy. I love travelling too, within my own country and to countries overseas in different parts of the world. Always so interesting to meet and work together with people of different nationalities and cultures. We learn a lot from one another.

I'm working to be financially independent. I'm trying to put my hard earned money into different investments and harvest the fruits of it in the later years. I don't want to be stuck as an employee working for a boss. I'm preparing for my future out of work. Working now for me is to accumulate money for investing at the same time a hobby to keep me doing something too.

Yep, but I'm really not into business and entrepreneurship. I'll be trying my hand in investments and stock. As of the moment I am trying to learn the fundamentals. I hope I can learn it fast because I really want to be financially independent as soon as possible! You already resigned? Maybe you can share some ideas on good investments or business.
