Regardless of what path a person pursues in life, imo, everyone (kids included) needs to be honest with themselves about their own financial reality and plan accordingly–even as they continue to pursue higher goals.
Our society doesn’t encourage this–and the “R” word is a tough sell–especially where kids are concerned, and many aren’t aware that they may not get everything they want in the real world.
Many people are in a position to find/enjoy what they consider to be their passions in life and support themselves and their families, but, imo, that’s where each individual and family have to determine what’s realistic for them.
