[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1531652, member: 27490"] The circumstances of how you are raised has more to do with personal finances than taking a course. I was raised in a household that was so poor we didn't even have mice. Mice would come into the over 100 year-old-farm-house, scope it out and move to the poor family next door - who were almost as poor but at least they had the luxury of dropping bits of food on the floor - we didn't. I am not complaining. At family reunions, me and my siblings are celebrities, telling stories of how we were raised. Dad was one of this world's oddlings - he would put running water in for a neighbor but we didn't have indoor plumbing until after I went to college. We bathed using a wash pan. I could go on but will not. Just put it this way - when I went to college, I was often asked why I didn't go home. I always thought that was odd. Why would I leave a place where I could shower, a nice warm place to shyt, and comfortable room with nice furnishings to go back to using an outhouse and washing in a wash pan. My point is: it taught me more than any course on taking care of my assets. [/QUOTE]
