☆ We loved living in Austin but left after 10 years. Big businesses and tech wrecked our favorite parts of the city.

We hated that many of the city's unique small businesses were being forced out due to high rents. We loved that the city was less hurried, had a small-town feel, and prided itself on its motto, "Keep Austin Weird." AdvertisementWe felt big businesses slowly took away from what made Austin special"Keep Austin Weird" is an ode to the eclectic mix of small businesses found throughout the city. Dmitri Kotchetov/ShutterstockThe Texas capital is known for its motto, "Keep Austin Weird," an ode to the eclectic mix of small businesses found throughout the city. The street was once lined with offbeat stores with unique Austin offerings and welcoming shop owners.

☆ We're paying for private school for our son, but we won't pay for college

As we entered the kindergarten room on a tour of our local public school, the entire class was wearing headphones and engrossed in their tablets. Related storiesI knew that moving him into our local public school setting would be at odds with who he is naturally and would be like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Unfortunately, the local public school system prioritizes teaching to the standardized state test, continuously makes cutbacks to the arts and music programs, and has burgeoning class sizes with too few teachers. AdvertisementInvesting in his education during these crucial formative years makes more sense for our family than paying college tuition, which he may or may not even attend. While we will not pay for his college education, we have set up a custodial account for him, which he will have complete control of upon turning 18.

☆ My 5-year-old could identify a butterfly's life cycle but not a nickel. It was my wake-up call to start teaching him about money.

This was a wake-up call to my husband and me to teach him financial literacy at home. Related storiesIf he can understand the concepts of a chrysalis and metamorphosis, he can learn about money. The author's 5-year-old couldn't recognize coins, so she decided to teach financial literacy at home. Using dollar bills and coins, we showed how money makes more money without him having to do any work. If children can start reading in kindergarten, let's trust they can also learn about financial literacy.
