Passing it on is really important. I would note, however, that today's families have access to credit in a way their parents did not. Getting a zero down 35 year mortgage was not an option a generation ago. Today's parents have an even greater challenge teaching their children how to handle debt. Just because a bank offers you credit doesn't mean you can afford it. Years ago, that was not the case. Thanks for your input. You’re right. Passing it on is really important.

Interestingly, your first and last items are often forgotten! One item that is missing is the generational element. It is obvious that those with some financial smarts are not passing it along to their children. Let's invest in our children and the future by teaching these principles... otherwise, we'll end up with a new generation with financial diabetes. Another great post.
