### Comment:
&gt;Thinking you can teach your kids to pick a profession and expect that career path to be the same or even viable by the time they reach their 30s is a fail. 
  
 do you really think this is a fair description of what you did...

### REPLY:
Yes and no. I have definitely taken the fail forward approach. I learned about the above concepts on my own. So if they learn to keep their expenses low, budget, buy cash flowing assets and/or investments as opposed to exchanging their labor for stuff, I'll feel like they'll be starting 20 steps ahead of where I was when I graduated.
