Grain markets managed a small bounce following surprisingly bullish data from USDA’s release of four major reports on January 12. Wheat found support from a much smaller winter wheat planting estimate than the trade had expected. Total winter wheat acres were projected at 36.609 million acres, 2.7 million less than the estimate and down a hefty 7% from last year. Corn and soybean production estimates were less than last month’s number while the trade had expected an increase. In addition, corn quarterly stocks were also lower than expected, offering support to a market that has been under pressure for weeks. Soybean stocks were higher than expected but was offset by the lower production. Demand for soybeans has improved as well, with China adding to their purchases despite big crops coming from Brazil in just a few weeks. The cattle complex was weaker, led by feeders. After a huge surge during the holidays, prices began to correct as we started the new year.

Possible The teacher asked her students what they wanted to become when they grew up. A chorus of responses came from all over the room: “A football player.” “A doctor.” “An astronaut.” “The president.” “A fireman.” “A teacher.” “A race car driver.” Everyone that is, except Tommy. The teacher noticed he was sitting there quiet and still. So she asked him, “Tommy, what do you want to be when you grow up?” “Possible,” Tommy replied. “Possible?” asked the teacher. “Yes,” Tommy said. “My mom is always telling me I’m impossible. So when I get to be big, I want to be possible.”

DAVE SAYS: Who Is Dave Ramsey? Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

DEAR DAVE, My fiancé and I are getting married in May. He’s a youth pastor, and I’m in grad school. His mom and dad found a home they think we’ll like, and they want to gift us money for a down payment. I’m not sure how I feel about this under our present circumstances. Do you think we should go ahead and accept when I’ll still be in school and we’ll still have debt to pay off? ~Emily Dear Emily, You need to get to know each other before you buy a house together. I always recommend that young couples rent for a year and concentrate on each other, the new marriage, cleaning up any debts you have, and establishing an emergency fund. Then, after another year or so when you’ve had time to take control of your finances, the idea of looking for a home becomes much smarter. It sounds like your future in-laws are really generous people. They’re trying to do something nice for you two, but they kind of got out ahead of things with this idea. And in the process, they violated some boundaries in your relationship with your fiancé. My advice is to have a conversation with your fiancé about all this and get on the same page about what is the smart thing to do. Then the two of you need to have a loving discussion with his parents. Let him do most of the talking, and say thank you a lot, but let them know you both feel it would be best to start out by renting something for a year or so. Then after a little time has passed, tell them if they still want to help with a down payment you’d both very grateful. I think this approach would be good for the boundary issues and for your finances! ~Dave DEAR DAVE, Our son just turned 8 years old. Is it time to start giving him an allowance? ~Dan Dear Dan, There’s never a time for an allowance, no matter the child’s age. In my mind, that kind of thinking is the best way to plant the seeds of entitlement. You want your son growing up with the idea that he’s owed money simply because he’s alive. Instead, work out a plan to pay him commissions. Assign him weekly chores that are age-appropriate. Then, when the work gets done, he gets paid. And guess what? If the work doesn’t get done, he doesn’t get paid! Not only do we want to teach a healthy work ethic, but we also want him to learn that work creates money. Of course, there are some things a child should be expected to do without financial reward. Everyone needs to pitch in and do certain things to help out when they’re part of a family. But once you’ve taught him about work, make sure to also teach him about the three uses for money—saving, spending, and giving. Lessons on the basic handling of money are some of the best teachable moments you can have with your child. Not only does it make them more knowledgeable about finances, it helps them learn about life! ~Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business. He has authored five New York Times best-selling books: Financial Peace, More Than Enough, The Total Money Makeover, EntreLeadership and Smart Money Smart Kids. His newest best-seller, Smart Money Smart Kids, was written with his daughter Rachel Cruze, and recently debuted at #1. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 8 million listeners each week on more than 500 radio stations. Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey and on the web at daveramsey.com.
