Jonathan Clement's Blog: Cost Of Living: How Much Will I Need In My Piggybank ?

FYI: I TUTOR MY 10-year-old niece once a week in math and science. After the study sessions, we often talk about other things—mostly kid stuff. Recently, her treasured piggybank got a nice boost on her birthday and we discussed what she might do with the money.

That’s when my niece asked, “How much money will I need when I grow up?” I guess she was trying to figure out if she did indeed have to study hard and get a job—or whether her current savings would be enough. I laughed and told her that she would definitely need to work, just like the rest of us, because she’d need much more money than her piggybank held.
Regards,
Ted
