This week Wells Fargo announced the results of a recent survey, which shows that parents and their 18 to 22-year-old children don't always see eye to eye when it comes to managing personal finances.
I'm not surprised by this. When I was between the ages of 18 and 22, I didn't agree with my parents about personal finances, either. They wanted me to save more and to be less reliant on them for funds. I liked my allowance and wanted to spend it on ridiculous 90s fashion trends. 
According to the survey, here are parents' top three personal finance priorities for their children:
- Find a job
- Pay off student loans
- Pay off credit cards and debt
Sounds pretty sensible to me, but the young adults surveyed had other ideas. Here are their personal finance priorities:
- Buy a car
- Find a job
- Buy a home
Well, at least "find a job" was on both lists.
Tell me: When it comes to money, are you and your parents on the same page?
