Question for you if you have kids, if you are a recent kid or if you want kids!

I think the important thing is that your children see you using money responsibly. My mother loves to shop, so it was always a big part of our lifestyle. BUT she never spent money excessively... things we needed or things that we really wanted were most always available, but I never got things just to have them.

Also, make sure they know how to respect the items you buy- so you won't have 16 year olds who wreck their new vehicles and then automatically expect another brand-new one to be sitting in the driveway.

I highly doubt you are spoiling your children!
