What would I know anyway?

Catherine has a financial issue that has occurred.  When I found out about it, a discussion occurred, and I am concerned that she has managed to make herself the victim of a scam.  Andrew asked her why she was trying to handle this on her own and reminded her that we are always available for help.  We'll even let her handle it, but it's okay (and even a good idea) to ask for advice.  We asked why she hadn't done so, and she pointed out to us that she had received an "A" in her personal finance class and she thought she could handle it herself.  Her dad pointed out that her mother has an accounting degree with nearly 25 years of experience.  She was not impressed!  These are the types of decisions that worry me.  I'm all about letting my children learn their lessons, but it's frustrating when it can be avoided!
