I don't have kids but it seems that boys are more of the jump first think second mentality, while girls are more cautious. I think that does apply to finances as well. Very interesting. Great post.

My nephew was (and still is) the same way. He's fearless - i.e., will climb up a cabinet and leap toward me. As far as decision making goes, it usually depend on its importance. For more important decisions, it take me longer to research and consult, vise versa. Great post! My nephew was (and still is) the same way.

I leapt into things that I ought to have waited on, and I waited on things for which I ought to have acted. I'm getting better, especially about not making rash decisions. The thing is: it's sometimes difficult to undo a decision made in haste, such as a car you bought but then regret, or a stock purchased that plummeted, etc. But it's easier to make ammends for a delay. If I don't buy that MINI Cooper today, it'll still be there tomorrow... I used to suffer from the worst of both worlds.

Having recently watched our daughter learn to walk I can fully relate. Our boys were far less cautious, our boys jumped right in. Love the way you tied that to personal finance. I'm a leaper...but working hard to be more reflective. Jaimie, great post! Having recently watched our daughter learn to walk I can fully relate.

Before shopping for a violin, for instance, I determined the approximate amount of money I wanted to spend and the best place to buy one within 2 hours. Then I got him to let me play all the ones in my price range. I fell in love with the one I bought and didn't have to think about price.
