    Did your parents teach you about money, or did you learn on your own?

    We were pretty poor when I was being bought up, so I soon learnt the values of money.

    My parents just didn’t spend money and they taught us that. I don’t save much but they did!

    My parents didn't buy themselves or us anything either.

    I did not need to be taught, I found it easy to take money off people,I would say to people give,,and they gave...i was not a very good person back then,,,times have changed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Everything I've seen, heard about, and observed about money has taught me that money needs to be avoided, averted and removed from use as a medium for exchange. There are better ways to live than measuring your activities, since of self-worth and beneficence with money. Our world has nearly 7 billion inhabitants and literacy has made a few strident steps to get more of our human population beyond the stone age...but it is a struggle. Money offers a quick-fix to all human problems to the unenlightened-educationally. Prison is a permenent home for those who have so little interest in an education. A culture without money relies upon the skills of others within such communities to survive and acquire new skills to raise their standing within a community. Our "Moneyed" culture has very few options to deal with the growing problem of money addiction.          

    My parents, especially my dad's, hard work paid off well for them. What I learned from them was not necessarily the value of money, but the value of diligence, integrity, and honesty. Dad always told me to get the best that I could afford, and, if I didn't need something not to take it even if it were free. He and Mom were philanthropic, but anonymous in their gifts. 

    ... yes ... money is for spending and giving away .... if you can!

    Obviously, this paper was made from the leaves of the money tree. :D

    They taught me mostly by example, not to buy something that you don't have the money for.

    Money, what's that?   We were so poor, I could not pay attention!
