Children asking about your income

I make billions and tell my kids I make millions.

I would never disclose how much I make or have to my children.

The reply would be, “none of your business” as my parents said to me.

My answer "enough to pay the bills"

I'm a hundredaire but I do like to keep that information to myself.

Tell them, "I'd have a lot more disposable cash if your punk arse wasn't around"

How old are your kids?

Oldest is 13 and the youngest is 10.

I was thinking of a way to make it into a teachable moment by showing the value of education while showing the responsibilities of being an adult in case the question were to arise again. My parents had never disclosed their income to me and I remember specifically how much my mother hated people asking that question.

This usually happens after a kid’s friends calls his pops a “loser deadbeat.”

Mine are at that age where they are curious about it. Just tell them more than most and enough to pay for everything and still save.

I tell mine as they get older though I will go over finances with them b/c it is important to understand.....and when you see the generic % of people in debt on credit cards and lack of savings it's pretty scary.
