Dave Says
(Test his resolve)
Dear Dave,
Our son is 27, and he
has a good job making
$55,000 a year. Recent
ly, we learned he fi
nanced an expensive car
he’s now upside down
on. In addition, he has
accumu
lated over
$15,000
in credit
card debt.
He lives
in a small
town, and
only pays
$650 a
month in
rent, but he
is asking
for money.
We taught
him about
living on a
budget and
staying
out of debt
when he
was younger, and now
it seems he didn’t listen
very well. How do you
think we should handle
this situation?
Bryce
Dear Bryce,
The first thing I’d
advise telling him is that
you and his mom aren’t
going to whip out the
checkbook, and make
his problems disap
pear. That may sound
harsh, but he had a
really good thing going
until he messed it up
by acting impulsively
and irresponsibly with
his finances. Nope, I
wouldn’t take care of it
for him—not at his age.
This young man needs
to have some skin in the
game.
I’d tell him to sell
the fancy car, and get
something way cheaper
to drive for a while. I’m
talking about a little
beater in the $2,000 to
$3,000 range. It sounds
like he’ll have to get a
small loan to cover the
difference, but a little
car debt is better than
a lot of car
debt. I’d also
advise him
to pick up
a part-time
job nights
or weekends
until he gets
that credit
card debt
paid off.
In other
words, let
him wallow
in it and
worry about
things for a
while. Then,
if he’s willing
to accept
responsibil
ity for his actions, and
starts handling money
more wisely, you two
might help out every so
often with a little extra
cash on the payments.
But I’d test his resolve
first. And I’d want to
see proof he has learned
from his mistakes!

Quiet conversation over
a leisurely breakfast,
everyone dressed and
ready to depart on time,
all their books, papers
and lunch neatly packed
and ready to go? No?
Not quite? More like a
minor riot with lots of
stress? If so, it’s time for
a change.
There’s no magic way
to guarantee that the
bedlam that marks those
getting ready for school
times in too many
homes will totally disap
pear, but there are steps
to take to help minimize
the school-morning
frustration, stress and
anger.
You can start by not
blaming the kids for
all the problems. Make
it clear that you’re not
happy with how you’re
acting (you know, that
yelling and lecturing
virtually every day).
Tell them you want to
change and you need
their help in making it
happen.
An important step
is give the kids more
responsibility. A kitchen
timer, for example, is a
great way to help young
children finish that
breakfast with time left
to get dressed for school.
For older kids, let them
use an alarm clock,
maybe on their phone,
and have them agree to a
“no-snooze-alarm” rule.
For both younger and
older children there have
to be consequences,
discussed and agreed to
ahead of time, if they
don’t stick to the time
rules. They give up a fa
vorite something if they
slide back into the old
ways. And you also need
to set a consequence for
yourself if you flip back
into yelling and nagging
to get them moving.
You can also make
changes to move things
