Earning it themselves teaches the value of money.

Constantly being given it by their parents will devalue it in their minds.

Dont get that question at all! Why would that happen? I have been earning for 7 years and I am only 20 (nearly 21) and I dont htink I have lost respect for anything or anyone. I think earning at a young age is a good thing. It teaches you how to deal with what you have and also what restrictions you will face as you get older. I earn quite good money for my age concidering what I do and I used to blow it when I was younger but now I know that there are things have to be done with the money I earn. I only ever had one plan when I first startin gworking and that was to be able to move out when I was 18. Not because I had a rubbish home life but because I knew I could and so when I turned 18 I got a two bedroom flat!

I still believe that if I didn't do what I did and started working later I wouldnt have what I have now :)

Earning at a young age does not make a child loose respect for values, not been disciplined is what makes kids loose respect.

Earning at a young age can teach them that they have to work hard in life to get things and that they can't just expect society to pay their way.

no, it's the opposite, it makes teenagers see how hard they have to work to earn 30 quid.
I grew up in a family that was skint all the time, i got out there earning as soon as i could. I did paper rounds at the age of 12 and weekend job at the age of 13 - where i worked all day long in a stressful environment for £33.75 per day, it's funny how i can still remember that wage!
Now at 22 i have my own business and believe me - i appreciate it! I haven't lost my values and i actually still feel guilty when i spend £30 on a dress!

I .... THINK.... I know what you're saying. That at a young age earning and getting a yearning for money COULD push other values sideways, love, respect for people, etc. And you are probably right in a lot of cases, money can become the most important factor in some peoples lives.

Earning through effort and hard work will teach values. The key is guidance. Showing young earners how to properly use any startup money wisely, and consequently the profits from their enterprises will reinforce those values.

In contrast, being given an earning opportunity where the young Entrepreneur doesn't have to work hard, or is given everything they need could be counter productive to the teachings of value.

i think, earning money at a young age makes a person more mature in a lot of ways...cos he will be able to know the value and nature of what he is earning....man by nature is a rational thinker esp. in terms of the things that make him a mature person...and make him grow.,..you just don't earn but you'll have to love what you are earning ..Respecting the value of life, makes a young person so eager to produce the things that he wants so it makes him strive more to earn for him to get those things that he wishes for....that way he is valuing life....

No, i was working at the age of 15 and have learnt that the more you work, the more things you get in life, so up until now I have always worked to pay my own way. I am now on maternity leave and am torn between going back to work so that we don't have to struggle or be there for my son and watch him develop. I have never had such a tough decision to make

i was in a scholl program where i worked so many hours a week during school. in the summer, i worked 6 or 7 hrs a day, sometimes helping to paint class rooms. it taught me to respect the value of things. my neice is 16, working and hold her money in a tight fist. and no, she doesn't get an allowance or ask others for money.

No way! Quite the reverse! I've worked since I was 14 and everything I own and every experience I have had, I have worked for. What values can you have from sitting back and letting everything come to you?
