Want some advice for your son? Here's what to do. Tell him to take the $400 he's saved and go down to the bank and buy himself some kind of an investment certificate, maybe a year or two till maturity. Then tell him to start saving again. Meanwhile, cash in some of your own pop bottles and buy a tractor for YOU AND HIM. Tell him he can pay you back later. You foot all the bills but keep track of everything. He'll learn that it's fun to work with the old man on a project. He'll learn not to p*** away all of his hard-earned money on something he wants but really doesn't need. He'll learn a lot of skills that will encourage him to maybe drive an older car and fix it himself (instead of going broke the hard way buying something new that he can't afford). You'll learn the same things if you haven't learned them already and if you haven't then you'll be better off. I'm not being a smart-arse here, just offering some good old-fashioned financial advice. There's too many of us in this country that can't stand the feeling of having money in the bank and nothing to show for it. Just my two cents, consider the advice as being friendly.
