Your children will learn how to manage money—either from you, or the world. You can choose to teach your children, or advertising and the media will be happy to do the job for you.

Teach Your Children About "Debt Free Living God's Way" Now
As parents, you want to see your children learn to enjoy Debt Free Living God’s Way. You want them to develop into Godly, mature, disciplined adults.

According to God’s Word, the answer to either question is based on your attitude about wealth. So let’s answer these questions in light of what God says about attitudes.
