I now understand why it's so important to invest in your children…

This really helped me understand what ROI is but the example is kinda a scary scenario for the kids. If Joe would have been my father I would have kept all the money at that young age. 😉

What if the children do not use all the 100 dollars to generate profit? Is ROI still the same as the ROI based on the typical formula?
