When you have a kid, money matters.

One of the joys of working with boys is that you get your pay as you go along. You can observe the results of your leadership daily... Such satisfaction cannot be purchased at any price; it must be earned.
Every man should make his son or daughter learn some useful trade or profession, so that in these days of changing fortunes of being rich today and poor tomorrow they may have something tangible to fall back upon. This provision might save many persons from misery, who by some unexpected turn of fortune have lost all their means.

Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.
The world does not owe men a living, but business, if it is to fulfill its ideal, owes men an opportunity to earn a living.
If a man has money, it is usually a sign, too, that he knows how to take care of it; don't imagine his money is easy to get simply because he has plenty of it.
Economy I consider a virtue & should be practiced by all; there is certainly no way in which money can be laid out than in the education of children.
