A Gallup poll lilted the "green stuff as the most frequent cause of family trouble. And the problem doesn't neces sarily stem from how much money a family has. The critical point is how well the income is managed, whatever the amount. One investi gator learned that a family with $23,000 a year often found it tougher to live within this income than do others in the $i0,000 bracket. Many sons and daughters who yesterday inherited fortunes from wealthy parents are today living In penury because they had never learned money management. A North Wilkesboro high school principal, Dr. H. T. Thompson, con siders the art of responsible money handling so important that he pro vides his son Scott, an 8th grader, with a checking account in order to give him practice. Each month Principal Thompson deposits enough money in the local bank t? cover the boy's sebaef lunches, spending money, church offerings, haircuts, and other nor mal expenses. There's even enough for the youth to save a modest amount. It's the boy's responsibility to administer the income so that he meets his obligations and saves aa agreed-upon amount. The monthly bank statement plainly shows how well he does. If the Thompson youth craves a luxury beyond his operating la come, he must earn extra money. For instance, the 8th grader pres ently wants a "Go-Kart," and he's caddyiag at the local golf course to earn cash to pay for it. This way he learns the relationship be tween hard work and his pur chase. Dr. Leonard E. Reed, an economics expert, says, "All else in economics is but embellishment of this primary lesson." Thompson's son writes his own checks. His father allows that he makes some mistakes. If he didn't, there would be ho point in setting up the project. When there's an unwise action, It comes up for dis cussion, and ways and means are planned to prevent recurrence. So far young Thompson hasn't over drawn. Dr. Thompson'! daughter used the same system as she went thru high school. Now in college, she's an experienced hand at managing her finances. Dr. Thompson, who knows young sters both from the point of view of a high school principal and a father, heartily endorses his Idea for other parents. In addition to providing experi ence in handling money, a check ing accoant can familariae young sters with how monetary matters work la the business world. Book keeping fad arithmetic learned in school can be atilued Further, says Dr. Thompson, the checking account makes it easier for "the old man " He's not con tinually harassed for dole outs, a nickel for a pencil her*, ? quarter for a movie therf. "We deposit money for Scott oace a month and that's it," he state*. "If my son overspends, he knows no more money is forth coming until the first of the asoath "Could a lesson be anymore life like," Principal Thompson ask*.
