Saving for the future and parents changing attitudes

So it turns out that saving for the future is becoming a little harder or is it? Saving for a child's future doesn't have to be the most expensive thing in the world. A couple of pounds a week to start or even £10 or £20 a month will suffice.

Now that the Child Trust Funds are being withdrawn by the government it means that parents are going to have to find new was of saving for their kids.

What is slightly more concerning is the news that some parents in the UK appear to be unconcerned by the prospect of their kids drinking, doing drugs or having sex underage. I have to say i find the notion of the latter slightly alarming. If anything it highlights a distinct lack of moral guidance and principles.

There is clearly some need for parental involvement in the bringing up of a child, yet, in Britain parents appear all too preoccupied with themselves as opposed to their kids. Aside from the fact that they are breaking the law, the health impact of such lazy parenting could actually be quite severe in later life.
