When I was a kid, I received bad advice. For example, it was common to encourage kids to get a job, work hard and move up the corporate ladder.
That may have worked for my grandparentsβ generation. But corporations in my time were ruthless, gutless, and devoid of any sense of loyalty. Following the advice was a recipe for burnout and disappointment.
I think about this now in terms of my own kids. I can give them advice that would have helped me. But will the world they inherit turn that advice against them in turn?

Seems like the advice paid off
Hi @jimbocoin π
that is a really good question.
The point is, if you follow/ believe the cycle theory like #thefourthturning, i would say it will because your kids will grow in another part of the cycle where maybe the advice of your grand parents would be better.
All the best

In what way?
You are more aware of corporate reality and more importantly understand its drawbacks. Working hard and getting a job early is the best recipe to become part of the productive class and eventually financially sovereign, instead of turning into a socialist with cognitive diss π
Very good point
Ideally, one should be able to learn a fact without experiencing it first hand. That ought to be the point of advice, IMO. To save the recipient time and toil.
Parents tend to give advice that worked for them, unaware that society and the economy has changed since they were young.
Well, you've already told them to save some allowance in bitcoin?
