The same thing goes with money, just giving people money is not the solution. Financial discpline is what many people need.

I came from a culture where its just wrong to send your parents to elderly homes. Granted I am only 21, and they're just barely 50's. It really worries me because my brothers are irresponsible and they show no sign of caring for our parents. The other one is just 12 and shouldn't be thinking about these things. Then I realized, that my parents did not have me as their child in order to secure their golden years. If they did, that's just wrong. Its just a little difficult to take away an expectation, that's been wired to you since you were little. This idea should be posted more often on cyberspace so that other people will be enlightened as well. Great post!! I just love this post.

In my country it is common to see young people living in their parent's until they get married at 35, marrying and moving the husband/wife into parent's place, not working while at university so that you can have good grades and broken parents living the last part of their lives at a son/daughter's house, which is really sad. In Latinamerica Financial Literacy is "zero" and people think in money as something that is never enough, even though people have expensive cars, expensive clothes and expensive cell phones, while drawning in debt. It is a different culture but at the end of the day it is that people is like children, people wants everything and wants in now, because society values the person for what they "have" instead of for what they "are"; so if you do not have the last vogue and a new car (in debt of course, and debt here is expensive) then you are not being succesful and your neighbor is doing better than you. Getting to the point, parents and relatives have to help those "financial kids" to get out of their troubles just to lead them (uncounciously) to their next financial problem, because of course they never learn and never grow up, just go around to see their next toy and cycle begins. Thanks for this post and be sure I understand it perfectly since I am habitue to see everyday how people give their oxigen mask to their kids for helping, just to end up without any mask and just receiving the help of their kids at the end of their broken lives, borrowing their kids mask, the mask that should have been theirs if they have just secured their own mask first.
