I don't tell my kid how much I make because they use it to compare with the other kids' parents. It is uncomfortable and embarrassing to overhear them bragging among themselves that their dad earns more than that ones. It's easy, if you don't have kids, to theorize on how you should instruct and mentor your would-be offspring, but few plans survive first contact with the real world.
