I'm a big advocate of a work-for-pay setup rather than an allowance that isn't attached to chores - it's a great way to impart the value of money to your children.
I demand pretty aggressive goal setting and a commitment to measured progress towards those goals because I don't like surprises. I don't even like good surprises.
I say whatever I think and whatever is on my mind, and I just hope that it comes out good. I just try to have a lot of fun.

I see no point in exchanging something that I understand, know, love and think will have a great future for something else that I know much less about.
