How not to raise a spoiled rotten brat

By -

Here's an interesting article on CNNmoney.com on how the rich and powerful teach their children about money and not to grow up with the entitlement mentality.

A couple of examples like part of their allowance is expected to be given to charity and to savings. Another where they are given a budget for shopping and a limit is set, if that limit is used up, tough luck.

President Donald Trump has been shaking up the whole establishment, issuing travel bans, repealing the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), tweeting about industries like defense and auto manufacturers. When a President of a country calls out companies or industries, the stock market reacts to it. When Trump tweeted about the F-35 jet being overpriced, six of the 28 stocks in aerospace and defense industry dropped 2% or more. When he tweeted about car manufacturers building plants in Mexico saying they should build the plants in the US or pay big border tax, Toyota’s stock loses $1.2B in value 5 minutes after the tweet came out.

Just The Minimum Please

I see a lot of clients looking to get home insurance and when I ask them how much they want to insure for, they always say, "we only want the minimum, we don't have a lot of stuff".

In fact, I was half expecting it. For all of Trump’s bluster, I already had a feeling he will have a good showing in the polls, maybe a close race with Clinton if Clinton did win. But when it was shown he was leading in the early polls, I knew he was going to win. What surprised me was that the whole country voted Republican.

This time around, the Democrats were completely demolished. Why? Historically, when the economy is doing badly, the incumbent party almost always losses. Why? Because the people wants change, so the kick out the current party and install a new party to see if they can make things better. If the economy is doing well
