    So true..I am a mom with much regret. I had rough childhood extremely poor. I wanted my kids to have better life but I spoiled them and didn't do them any favors. If I could have a re do I would make harder for them. I have a son that has zero motivation because mom always takes care of it.. so to all new parents make your kids work for everything ..you are doing them harm by helping..let them figure it out

      I feel your pain. I did the same. Now I am raising my grandchildren. Guess what? They work! They are 4 and 6 and do firewood and help me take care of the animals and EARN an allowance so they can SAVE to get what they want. I learned the hard way, too. I will now be parenting until I'm 64.... Hugs

      My question and it is very sad to see - why are all these grandparents raising their grandchildren?/ That is retorical - I do know why, and it is a SHAME! GOD BLESS YOU GRANDMA - I pray you have an abundance of energy, and that your child who had the children, comes the Lord and becomes responsible to raise her own children. Amen!

She also inspired me to have my own channel so my *new* kids can see our journey long after I'm gone. There is very little one can't accomplish when they are guided by love! Thanks, Becky, for all the inspiration, and thanks to my RUclips family and others I meet here for the supportive community!

    I don't care what people are disliking here. So basically the rich kids/parents didn't shut the video off like you said to. My husband and I had 8 kids and they didn't get money handed to them. They all saved their 4 h money from selling livestock to buy their cars, worked for farmers, landscapers, babysat, etc. This video made me feel better because I felt bad I couldn't hand them money. Two put themselves through college to be nurses, two are in the military, etc. I have been on such a guilt trip and I thank you for this video. I'm going to have my son who still lives at home listen to this.

They are kind.

      @YouCantEatTheGrass 6 лет назад

      Sue S I don't know about anyone else, but for me the definition of "hard work" can be really relative. I don't find my garden hard and it is more of a pleasure than work. But I find making videos to be a struggle and very hard work. The irony is my garden provides me with bounty, while my videos don't give me anything other than pride in having created something. If we can all teach our children to go out and create and take action even if it is hard, then that seems like a good lesson :)

      How about moving pipe in the field and mucking out horse stalls by hand? My Grandpa had money because he worked his own business for 16 hrs a day and bred champion show horses, not spending it.

    Yeah, I grew up in a poor family. Poor or rich, kids can make their own money. Chores for pay, mowing lawns, weeding gardens, washing cars, babysitting, cleaning houses and my handcrafts were things I did before the age of 16 to earn my own money. I didn't have a "rich" parent who bought me a car for graduation- I got a necklace. Those who were "rich" were middle class parents who bought cars for their kids, down coats (the latest fashion), walkmans (that was the tech at the time), video games, bicycles and so on. We had a single mom who put herself through college, raised four kids and worked three jobs at the same time. She had courage today's snowflakes will never realize or understand unless they are forced to work for their own money.

What a blessing my momma was, even when i was unaware of all she did for me!

    Oh man, that accounting comment...I work at an accounting firm and if you want to be a CPA, you have to go to school for quite a while. Longer than a standard Bachelor's, for sure. And most accounting firms are currently looking for senior level positions, NOT new graduates. The CPA exam is also extremely intense, expensive, and time consuming. And you are expected to work 70+ hours a week during tax season. You need to be REALLY sure that you want to go into accounting and become a CPA. It doesn't hurt to take classes or do research on it, but it isn't something you just do in 4 years!

      @someembarrassingLPs 6 лет назад +1

      They could, but they would have to build a client base and have proven experience. You'd have to be in it for the long game. I think suggesting accounting is good for young people who might not have considered it as a career--but I posted that comment because there was an implication in the video that it WAS easy. It also costs a lot of money to go to school for accounting and especially to take the exam! So if a poor kid wanted to do it, they would have to take out heavy loans or save up for awhile.
      No hate Becky, just want to make sure people are informed!

    My parents had the money to give me what I wanted but didn't. It was hard and at times I resented it but it did make me able to figure out how to survive. However it's hard for kids to get a job before 18. Around here no one hires before a kid is 18. Our son did volunteer work in the summer. Got that by himself. Got there by himself and at the end of the summer his father surprised him by paying him for the hours he worked. My son didn't think he should take it but at 15 he really worked and then he put it in the bank until he needed it.

      my step son we did the same he has personal services DOG WALKING YARD GARAGE CLEAN OUT MOW paint fences etc..he is saving up to buy insurance n a car.. so both started early in age..so i hope kids can make a respectable independent responsible life for tthemselves. im not putting down anyone just giving IDEA'S..

  • @PriscillaSwaney
    @PriscillaSwaney 6 лет назад +1

    All about learning responsibility. Great video if you listen and learn. There are so many ways kids can earn money, mine did. Mowing lawns, picking up scrap metal, going through trash and reselling the treasures you find, learning to sew, doing chores, pulling weeds...on and on. Each odd job you do, you are learning. Also helping an elderly person is one of the best ways to learn skills. They have learned so many things through life and if you like the homestead life, they have so much knowledge they will share.

  • @kitty1750
    @kitty1750 6 лет назад +3

    I can sure relate to what Becky is getting at in this video, nothing offensive about it!! Adopted just before the age of 2, I was put out at age 15, hardly any education and no skills, at least none that I was trained for. Reason is that adoptive mother could never wrap her head around the fact that my birthmother wasn't married when I was born so after adoptive father was killed when I was 10, she got me out of the house as soon as she could. Never asked for, nor was given a dime by anyone in my family or friends. I even got burned out when I was 17 renting a bedsitting room above a store. Lost all my clothes & TV - it was all I owned. Worked hard labor jobs for minimum wage all my life. By the time I was 33 I bought my house - a duplex - which was an income property for me. I brag about the fact that I was the first single female in my city to get a mortgage on a house --- my credit was "that" good. After that, many of my single female friends then bought houses of their own, it was as if I had started a "president" for banks trusting single females. I made it at age 15 -- alone -- so as Becky points out, no reason anybody can't do it alone if they set their minds to it instead of looking for handouts all around them. I see so many of my friends that have grown children in their 30's living off of them, cleaning out their fridges -- that are literally "parasites". I can't understand why they allow it. Tough love is best as far as I'm concerned. Too many youth of today think they are "entitled" and that everyone owes them a living. Privileged people work as well -- but they had a huge hand up and a lot of tools to start with in most cases, very seldom ever start from scratch. The people Becky addresses in her video are those who have no hand up. People who take insult from it quite simply hate the truth.

Be honest in all your dealings (a lot less to remember when we are). Each man answers for himself, don't worry what the other guy is doing with his life, just worry about your own and follow your own star. Life will be much simpler and a lot happier when you do. That's my goal anyway. Blessings to all.

    Great video. I didn't grow up very poor but I was never handed ANYTHING. Paid for my clothes and just about everything since 14 years old. My mother had a spending addiction and spent any extra money on herself; she even spent all the money we received from an aunt for a college fund for us 5 kids.... all on herself. BUT it did force us kids to work hard to make it on our own. I am now financially stable and I believe that I owe it to my kids to help them financially to some extent, but still allow them to struggle a little on there own. Guess what?. Both my kids now own their own property that they bought with there own savings that they own free and clear at ages 20 and 24. Didn't give a dime to either one of them! Very important to teach kids good business and work ethics at an early age. I really love my kids and would give my life for them, so it was very hard at times not to give them everything they wanted all the time.

  • @jennyhenderson3606
    @jennyhenderson3606 6 лет назад +2

    You're 100% correct. My husband and I are each others second marriage. We have 3 children between us. With that being said we are in a position to spoil our children, but we don't. We refuse to. I mean, we pay for things for them, ya know....food, clothes, shelter, and family vacations. BUT, we have not and will not pay for their vehicles, insurance, and their extracurriculars. If they don't work, they won't have those things. Needless to say, all 3 have moved out to live with the parent that hands them those things. It's easier for them on the other side. They don't have to work and put in any effort to get what they want. Around here we work hard for the extras, the kids are not better than us in the work sense and they don't deserve to have everything they want for nothing. They're equal to us and our hard work. Buck up and suck it up, babies, momma and daddy ain't your free ride for life. We offer them plenty of sound advice, but they act like listening takes too much effort. If they don't want to take our advice and use it to the best of their ability then all we have to say for them is, "Live and Learn the hard way."

    I will say that the "college experience" is worth it. You meet your friends at that point. Being away from parents is what truly taught me to be frugal and value what I truly value. I didn't go out drinking but I partied with my friends with gaming. These are the people who I'm saving with to get my own homestead with. And with land prices in the UK it's the only way I could get out of the "rat race" as you call it. One of these people I'm saving with is a rich kid as well - however he is wealthy kind who for the most part earned things himself. If it were not for them then I would only be joining that rat race until I earn enough money to pay back the people who helped me and make a trip to Japan - after which I'd never be seen again.
    I'm lucky that I did choose a university degree with a clear defined career path (programming) and I'm even more lucky that I'm Scottish (not having to pay tuition fees) but I still think college makes you truly consider your future. I had the choice between staying at home and going to the local university or going to the other side of the country for the best university course in europe for my subject. I don't regret my decision.

    • @cacatr4495
      @cacatr4495 6 лет назад

      Getting away from parents can be truly important for independent personal growth. Not all kids can become emotionally or mentally independent unless they do leave the house, and college can be a demanding, concentrating, forward-focused way to do that, rather than just leaving the folks and drifting without a focused path. I found it very helpful, and I didn't party, just learned how to live and think independently.

    @brankenflowery8416 2 года назад

    I loved this discussion. I am learning how to be a flower farmer all by books and media online. I am learning so much too. Networking with other flower farmers has been a huge help as well. We currently have a janitorial cleaning company which is also a quiet money maker as well everyone thinks janitors are bad jobs but really its mostly easy and you get paid well as a business owner. We pay our staff well and have been pretty stable with our revolving accounts over the years. We started out cleaning restaurants and just pushing through till we built up to where we are now.
    I would add when starting out poor you can almost have a better way to financial freedom than most others if you just change your mindset on how to get there.

    my sons earned every bit of money that bought their cars or anything else...as I didn't have it to even help out. People tend to appreciate things more when they have to earn it. When they were young my eldest son had half of what was needed for a game system. It was on a good sale and I bought it with him..on the idea that he would make payments until paid off. I even drew up a little contract and we had payment receipts and all. I kind of felt bad, but then, it was a good thing as it taught him how the real world works. I felt bad that I couldn't just go out an buy things for them as other parents did. When I was a teen, I babysat...a LOT. and saved it all. Living at home saves a lot of money. Parents emotional support is very important. Not everyone is born to be a doctor, or accountant, or lawyer...... If you have skills(no matter what they are)..focus on them. Mike Rowe(from Dirty Jobs) has mentioned that a lot of young people expect to go to college and go right into a high paying low hours job, and that the technical trades are desperately looking for good people.

    This video is what a lot of people need to hear. In my family I grew up fortunately in a wonderful house with wonderful opportunities so yes in some ways I have grown up seeing what it’s like to have money, but my parents both grew up really poor and they showed my siblings and I how to go to college and work hard in a job, and start your own business, work your way up and earn yourself a nice car or house. But you don’t even need to buy those things because they’re just things. But overall my parents have taught me very well how to work hard physical and academically which I will forever be grateful for as I enter college soon and real life situations!

    I've been a subscriber for a really long time. I had a pretty privileged upbringing, but I was also taught the importance of hard work and determination. I played sports throughout my life, earned an athletic scholarship to college, where I had the best time of my life. I wouldn't trade those 4 years for anything. I got a degree in psychology. After I graduated I used my skills in sports and my degree to start my career. I graduated in 2013 and I am currently making $89k at my dream job at the age of 27. I only have one life to live, and I would rather have enjoyed my youth instead of spending so much time being so serious about life. I am so glad that my parents let me have a childhood and didn't worry so much about such serious stuff at 13 or 14. I guess my point is that just because I chose a route that I knew would make me happy (instead of just getting a degree in business to be "safe") doesn't mean I wouldn't be successful. Obviously this is just your alls opinion, but hearing someone you respect speak so harshly about many things that relate to me personally really doesn't feel good. I would think that you all would be a little more open and respectful of people from all different walks of life. Everyone in this world, rich or poor, have different struggles. Honestly I am not even sure it's fair to judge me based on how my parents may have raised me. But, I was always taught to never be judgmental. Raising my child to love and be kind is what matters in the bigger picture. I would hope my child never writes a person off the way you all have just because of their circumstances.

      +allierae1010 Well one thing you learn when your parents don’t spoil you is - It’s not always about you AND you develop thick skin so your not offended by other people’s opinions. Not everyone HAS to like you in this world even if you make $89K
      Because we are not talking about money and we are not talking about something money can buy, it’s called character and a good personality ❤️😀

      I'm somewhat confused, because isn't this video about money? From telling the rich kids to turn off the video to speaking about what majors make the most money? Like I said, I have been a faithful viewer of your videos for a long time. I watch them because I learn so much from them, even though I do not live the same way you do. I'm not someone who ever writes comments on videos, I just expected more from you. I don't want to be rude or try to change your mind about the subject. I just wanted you to know my story, because I don't think it is fair to generalize and judge a person because of how they were raised. I hope you can understand this.

    • @cacatr4495
      @cacatr4495 6 лет назад

      allierae Because of your parents' monetary comfort level, it sounds like you missed a fair portion of what was said in the video. They were acknowledging the attitude that Parents raise their children with, the work ethic, an industrious spirit, to work for things. You said, " I was also taught the importance of hard work and determination." There's no reason to imagine that people were judging you because you heard what you did. They acknowledged that rich parents could instill an industrious spirit in their children; they weren't making blanket statements even though the entry lines suggested that. We see the spirit of entitlement all around, and we see industrious spirits in all the socio-economic classes as well. It's about attitude, and the drive to apply oneself. They didn't say " Don't have any fun and do nothing but work throughout your teenage years, be serious and worry" > they never suggested that. The video was to empower those that aren't in a position to get benefits from their parents or their position. There are a lot of parents their children aren't even free to talk to, and those children want/need encouraging input and direction, how-to advice from somewhere. Not everyone has mentors, or relatives they can turn to or talk to; they truly are on their own. This video was made to let them know they could take proactive steps to rise above their current position, by becoming self-taught Learners and Achievers. You personalized something here that you didn't have to; it wasn't about you. At its most basic level, this is simply a public forum that offers the viewers whatever can benefit them in a generic manner. If I may, try not to mentally insert your situation into the words offered by others. Encouragement and acknowledging differences doesn't have to be seen as " judgment" or " not love, not kindness"; there are differences that are known to hinder and those that help. Therein lies the reality, and lonely, unsupported kids have to deal with reality every day.

    Great video! I graduated with a general business degree with a minor in management. But to be an accountant, you have to have so many hours to qualify (usually a masters so about 6 years of college) to take the test and be a certified accountant. A cheaper and easier way to get involved in accounting is get a business degree and then start with billing/collections/invoicing (receivables) then if you can swing getting cross trained in payables, you can then put on your resume you know “full cycle” billing. It’s a good foot in the door and gives you experience in the accounting world without 2 extra years of college and a big test.

    I agree with the message given in this video. Handing our children everything is of no help to them. If we give everything to our children then we developed in them A feeling of entitlement. That is why so many young people today feel they are entitled to things rather than working for them. Hard work never hurt anyone!

    Working young really helped me save money for college. Then taking college as a cooperative education student; (working full time for 1 quarter, then going to school full time 1 quarter) helped me decide what I wanted to do. I originally thought I wanted to be a chemist. Working as a junior assistant chemist highlighted the amount of repetition in the job. I would have been a Miserable chemist. Instead I was a happy programmer!
    Science and technology studies often have co-op options.
    I did need to move to a small college in a large city in order for the jobs to be available.

    Listening to this video, I took the term "rich kid" as kind of a metaphor. Becky is not singling out any one of YOU. She is trying to let you know that that by having our kids working for what they want, they learn a sense of value and appreciation for what they have. There is a ME ME ME attitude among young people lately, and having goals and working to reach them has all but fallen by the wayside with parents doing everything FOR their kids instead of WITH their kids or better yet, guiding their kids. It;s a good lesson. Lighten up. Sheesh.

    In the late '60's-early 70's we were only allowed to babysit for money. We had to have good grades or we weren't allowed to babysit anymore. Yes, our parents (3 of us graduated in the same year!) bought our first cars. It was a graduation present. So I'm not and have never been a rich kid......We were expected to buy our own school clothes and supplies with that money. My daughter didn't get a car at all from me (she is 40yrs and still doesn't have one!) as a single mother (her dad drank his money away so he was no help) I didn't have anything extra to use to get her a car. Kids these days have much more opportunities.

The car got me around for another year until I saved for a little bit better one - a broken down Cabriolet! My father was an auto mechanic and owned 4 cars and refused to give me one or lend me one!!! My young life was such a play on comedy/tragedy.

I do yard work and several things that usually include manual labor to earn most of my money. Kids in this generation in middle class homes mainly aren't raised right and are given everything they want. At the same time, my parents do help me from time to time with raising my reptiles, because they want to encourage me in my interests and passions. This video goes over the topic of "Rich kids" very well.
