My son the consistent underachiever, how can I explain how he is ruining his life?

<p>Oh, well, I can see how limiting your probable earning potential is exactly the same thing as ruining your life. @@ It’s really all about money, isn’t it? Not about forming a child who is a good, loving, caring person who is happy and self-sufficient. Re-read SansSerif’s post. And then think about the meaning of life. Clue - it’s not money, and it’s not going to an Ivy League or similar school, or having the fanciest job.</p>

<p>I want my children to be self-sufficient, but if they choose to live on $40,000 or $400,000 a year, it’s all the same to me. Too bad it’s not all the same to you.</p>
