Self-reliance and entrepreneurship are admirable teachings. However, at what age did you begin to educate your children regarding philanthropy? As demonstrated within this thread, self-reliance and sufficiency is more or less a last-resort than [that’s “then” for JsMom] a driving force for some members and their offspring.
