My son is 21. He’s been working since 16 and been paying for his own expenses except for car and insurance since 18. I’ve given him a credit card for emergencies but he never uses it. He’s in his last semester of college and will graduate in June.

Being a father is one of the hardest jobs. I'm always worried and thinking if my kids will make it in this world as far as getting a good job, making a great career, and earning a good living to support a wife and kids. This is the text I just got from him. Makes me proud. He’s going to be just fine. [emoji4]

That is really Awesome and really something to be proud of. Lots of great kids out there, but not many of those that appreciate the things parents do/sacrifice for them. Great testament of being a positive role model, father and friend. Hitting on all points with your kids is really hard, have 3 (2 step, one blood) is a daily grind. Your son will be better than you are in a very positive way because you've lead by a great example... +100.
