Yes, the older son hoarded his money--he's out on his own now, and I'm sure the hoarding continues. The younger college-age one, however, enjoys his expensive restaurant dinners out with friends, is generous to others with his money to a fault, and probably will always have a bit of the spendthrift in him, no matter whose money he's spending. We're working on changing his free-spirited attitude....still. Have to admit, though, he's easier to like than his more serious-minded brother and someday would make a heck of a salesman if he can't succeed at anything else. There's something to be said about being more interested in people than in money, perhaps. <<gg>>

What's the economic principal that states when there are not additional costs for additional units of a resource, individuals tend to consume more?

<<Yeah, but have you ever noticed with kids how they seem to be a great deal more fiscally responsible with money of their own instead of your money (at least while they are living at home)? >>
