I love the advice he gave will make sure my kids know it from a young age. For example, I spent my first pay check on a iPhone.

I also love the idea of not basing your friends on quantity but quality, this will really enable you to get rid of fake friends.
You are absolutely right! And I think as a young person is so difficult to say NO sometimes. Thanks for commenting. I really love all the powerful quote about 18 Am 18 years old.
