Problems of the nouveau riche :) There is a cycle and eventually they will be nouveau pauvre. BTW a beagle is a fox hunting dog. Used to being in a big pack.

There was a an article in the NYT recently about grandparents helping with their grandchildrens' education and lifestyle etc. I'd be curious to find out about trends in intergenerational wealth transfer and social class and ethnic origin. what differences there are and how things are changing. I've been looking on the web and can't find anything useful. Some families think that you only get anything when the previous generation dies but then they try to transfer a lot. Others think the next generation should get nothing and spend it all (fair enough if they earnt it themselves) or give it to the more deserving (charity). And others try to help out along the way if they have the wealth. Some help too much as you are saying.

I plan to spend time in Brazil and show the country to experiment because she doesn't know yet. I have an window of some 5 years, since after that she'd be haging around with their friends. I want to bring experiment to show her what a favela is. I want her to see the places I have worked before. This will serve as lesson. I note experiment is somehow like me. The way the brain works. Not focused. Lose attention easily. (Can't be accountant) Forgets to eat. Lightening fast brain. Can make conclusions of unrelated things. Worries about things that is not for her to be worrying at her age. Have a sense of humour. WORSE! The animal that blood thirsty beast that lives dormant in elmat- leaves on. I passed to it her. Teacher one day made her repeat math. She said she already knew that stuff. Teacher forced her to do it, wanting or not: Teacher woke up in her that beast I passed on to her. She tore up the math exercise. Throw it in the dust bin and told teacher that she already knew that and it was pointless to repeat it.
