What my parents believed was that, you know, the best wealth they could give to us children was to educate us and, you know - give us that foundation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are parents with wealth who just want their kids to be wealthy, and then there are other parents with money who want to teach their kids how they got it. That's what my dad was like.
My philosophy is very much to encourage my children to forge their own success and happiness, even though that will undoubtedly involve much more modest levels of wealth creation.
In America we believe that every child, no matter where they live, who their family is, or what the color of their skin, is entitled to as good an education as the richest parent in America can give to their children.
I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford.
Even if I was to give my children a small part of my wealth, it would be more than they can digest in many lifetimes.
My mom used to tell me that the most valuable thing she owned was her library card. We were poor, but that's not what she was talking about. My mom knew that education opened doors and opened minds.
Let individuals create real wealth, empower them, create something that they can leave for their children.
I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.
Parents realize their wealth should be used for social good rather than children's good.
My rich dad believed we should all learn to take care of ourselves.
