Fluxxx, please state your case here....the article has been removed by the moderators but you can still say in your own words, why you started up this thread.

In the age old nature vs nurture argument for or against why people act the way they do...we have thusfar not been furnished with a scientific basis for the claims made on either side.
NOW finally, we do!

I still believe that the pounding we received from our parents has influenced us to save save save and use proper judgement when dealing with finances. Only yesterday I was telling this attorney that the age limitations for children to have access to their estates should be twentyone instead of eighteen, since they are not responcible enough to solely handle their finances, to which he agreed. Teach your children how to save, when to spend, how much to spend........."don't hang your hat where your hand can't reach". So much for genetics.
