Re: Are you careful with money?
I a fairly careful with money, but not for trying to be. The "want" has gone from me these days. I don't mind giving to my children and grandchildren - and this is where a good portion of my money goes. I take the attitude that is better they have it while their children are young and they can benefit. My mum and dad saved (mum in particular after dad died). She found it difficult to buy anything other than her food and make sure the bills were paid. She died in her 80's and by that time we didn't need her money and I passed my inheritance along to my children, allowing them both to buy good houses without huge mortgages. Somehow the money meant nothing to me - It was as if it wasn't mine anyway.Re: Are you careful with money?
I have always been reasonably careful with money. This came from an upbringing where I was taught the value of money, it did not ‘grow on trees’ and was not easy to come by without hard work.Re: Are you careful with money?
Yes, very careful. As children we were brought up to earn pocket money by helping around the house. What money we 'earned' we were always told to spend some, save some. That way we always had a bit of money in our money boxes which we wouldn't dare to spend.Thread Tools | |
