Eric has a job as a waiter, and he spends about a quarter of his paycheck buying new music. He keeps his music spending activities secretive from his mother. What advice might we give to Eric's mother?
a. Eric will most likely develop into a trusting adult, but he is at risk for serious problems. If he is secretive about his finances, he is most likely secretive about behaviors that affect his well-being.
