Hey Kids! Don’t Sell the Farm!
Michelle and I recently took Bailey to her Kindergarten preview night. They say kids grow up fast, and it’s true. This Fall she’ll be headed out into the big world with lots of advice from her mom and me. I hope she’ll remember the advice and follow it.
Here’s a true story about a family where the kids didn’t follow their dad’s advice:
Dad always said not to sell the farm. “Keep the land and you’ll always have income.” Dad died and left the farm to his daughters. Relatives and friends reminded them, “Don’t sell the farm.” Well, guess what they did?
They sold the farm. The money was too tempting. They had some financial pressures and their spouses wanted to spend some. 10 years later they said, “You know, I wish we had kept the farm like Dad told us. We don’t have anything to show for it now. The farm’s gone and so is the money we got from the sale.”
