I can only hope that my children are as receptive to saving as MM's. I think it is becoming more and more difficult to teach these type of priorities to children though. TV, commercials, marketing to children, and cheap stuff make kids more and more greedy. I'm sure mass media can be countered, but I don't think it is easy to do.

Although I haven't got any kids just yet - in fact, it'll be a while before I even start thinking about the possibility seriously - I agree that instilling such basic values as the importance of saving your money and not squandering every last penny on minutae pleasures is a great way to prepare your children for the life ahead, regardless if you're a billionaire or a middle class family.

Great story!
