The Big Idea on CNBC  (which is a most excellent show, btw) had Troy Dunn on tonight talking about how to raise your children to be millionaires. Troy mentioned one thing that I think is key. Money is NOT a bad thing! So many American's believe that money is evil and that people that are motivated to earn a lot of money are greedy. Not true.

But what I really want to get to is Troy's book Young Bucks: How To Raise A Future Millioniare.You can read the first chapter here. In chapter 1 Troy writes about three harmful myths that block parents from helping their children become future millionaires:

Myth 1: A college education is the key to business success.
Myth 2: A job with a good corporation will secure your child's financial future.
Myth 3: Children should not have to "worry" about money when they're young. There's plenty of time to focus on finances when they're adults.

I just read chapter 1, then ordered a copy of the book. If you have children I think this book (at $12) is gonna be beneficial to both you and your kids.

My greatest feat ever..

Taking this picture earlier tonight might be the one of the toughest things I've had to do in a while!   Ever tried getting a group of 4, 6, 7, 9, and 11 year old boys to sit still long enough to snap a non-blurry picture? Let me tell ya..it's not easy. Being sick doesn't help either. But it was worth it...

Happy Birthday Austen!
