Legacy Planning: Family Meeting, III

I guess I'd like to make two final observations inspired by our family meeting last Saturday.

1. Luke raised a great question about "Our Money"--"family" money, or, in many ways, "John's & Sarita's money"--as opposed to "My Money"--the money that Luke (or anyone) earns himself.
   
   "I don't feel the same way about the money I get from Mom and Dad," he noted. He almost feels ashamed either to ask for it or receive it. The only money he feels good about using or spending is the money he has earned himself. . . .
   
   I thought that was a good observation and something we needed (and still need to, I'm sure) talk about: What is our attitude about money? What do we want for our kids? What do we specifically not want? . . .
2. . . . I can't remember!

Oh well. Maybe some other time. . . .
