Dear Dave, What are your views on teaching children good work habits? Many of our friends don’t require their kids to help out or work around the house, but we both strongly feel that instilling a strong work ethic early in life is one of the best things you can do as a parent for your children.

Greetings all! Wow, where did August go? I have been so busy that I haven’t even started a rough draft for September’s calendar which is due Wednesday. Yikes!! We have been keeping busy with our visits and our regular daily activities. Monday I helped on the floor. So we did one-on-one visits.

Dear Dave, I brought about $15,000 in student loan debt into our marriage. I’m 26, my wife is 27, and we’ve been married a little over a year. During that time, our parents have helped us out with financial gifts occasionally. Whenever this happens, my wife and I get into an argument.

Pioneer Memorial Rest Home

Greetings friends and family. We hope that you all had a great week. We have been keeping busy with our usual activities and have been enjoying our visitors. Monday I helped on the floor so there were many one-on-one visits done from several staff members.

Dear Dave, My husband and I have a rental property in South Carolina we want to sell. The current renters’ lease is up in December, but our property manager tells us the renters won’t let anyone in the home, not even just for photos to post online due to COVID-19.

Dear Dave, My dad passed away about a year ago, but he left my mom in really good shape financially. They never had any consumer debt, the house is paid for, and they had about $1 million in assets. Dad also left her a $500,000 trust. Mom is going to be 60 next year.

Greetings everyone. We hope you have had a great week. It’s so crazy that this is the last week of July. Where did the summer go? I hope you enjoy the news. I lost my list of who came out for what, so I will try my best to remember. Monday morning I had a small group out for kickball.
