How to keep the 'entitlement epidemic' from infecting your family - MarketWatch

I especially like the research by Timothy Kasser that supports the fact that when people focus less on material things and more on frugality they're healthier and happier. Good news, ladies!

Great article. I'd be interested in seeing part 2 also. We live in a fairly affluent suburb. It's VERY hard to teach children how NOT to feel entitled. My kids see me doing the CVS deals or target deals and clipping coupons, etc. But they also never feel the "pinch" of not having money like I did when I was growing up.

Luckily both of my kids are good about the "sharing" part of that equation, and my dd has been very good about the "saving" part of it also. Now my ds....well money flies out his hands, so we're still working on that.
