My kids are always asking me a new question, and up until recently I usually knew the answers.  Of course as the kids start to grow up they seem to have even more curiosity and I think it is a good thing to encourage that by helping them get all the information they possibly can!  I think this helps them to grow into informed and successful adults.  My kids were just asking me about what is the average salary of financial planners?  Their Uncle Ricky holds just such a job, and he has told me that he would be happy to hold a sort of an informal career day with my kids!
