http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/01/your-money/why-you-should-tell-your-kids-how-much-you-make.htmli agree with this in principle but oh the execution of the idea
Money is a source of mystery to children. They sense its power, so they ask questions, lots of them, over many years. Why isn’t our house as big as my cousin’s? Why can’t I have a carnivorous plant terrarium? Why should I respect my teachers if they earn only $60,000 per year? (Real question!) Are we poor? Why didn’t you give money to the man who asked you for some? If my sister can have Hello-Kitty-themed Beats by Dre headphones, why won’t you get me the Bluetooth-enabled Lego Mindstorms set? (It’s only $349, and it’s educational, Mom!)

The shots of the couple posing around their home and the pole are ludicrous. It's funny that the pole currently serves no purpose. No wires. It's just a naked pole planted in the yard.

For starters, adjust your expectations. Everyone wants to have lunch at 12.30 p.m. and dinner on a Saturday at 8 p.m. Chances are the other diners calling are just as affluent, willing to spend and unknown as you.

<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/05/dining/hannah-kirshner-of-sweets-bitters-and-her-omelet-pan-for-the-backyard-bounty.html">This one seemed pretty tailormade to the thread</a>; here's a highlight selection:
Now 30, she has three chickens of her own: Cookie Dough, a Mottled Java; Hillary Chicken, a Rhode Island Red; and Black Bettie, an Australorp. They live in her backyard in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and lay about a dozen eggs a week. These she sometimes shares with the neighbors, at once an act of good will and a peace offering. (She said that the chickens don’t squawk much.)Ms. Kirshner studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she once made a dress that looked like a cupcake, spreading paint on the skirt and the bodice with a spatula for an impasto effect; she wore it while handing out cupcakes that looked like the dress. She went on to train as a competitive cyclist, then found that she preferred the pace of life as a bartender and baker. (At one point, she sold cupcakes from her bicycle.)She started Sweets & Bitters in 2012 with a focus on desserts and cocktails. She envisioned a quarterly; the current publishing schedule puts it closer to an annual. “It was a really terrible business idea,” she said with a laugh.That year, she lost a garden-level apartment to Hurricane Sandy. She would have lost the chickens, too, if not for a neighbor who braved a chest-high flood to rescue them from an unmoored coop. Since then, one of the crew, a Columbian Wyandotte named Chicki Minaj, has died.Ms. Kirshner has other jobs, as a recipe developer and a food stylist. Having a steady supply of eggs to fry eases the bills.
