When I was growing up (poor), Mom and Dad raised me to think that we were better off financially than our neighbors. Do the Rich Use Debt Differently? I bet your gut response was YES. Accordingly, I learned to think we were a middle class family. After all, we were just as good as the next family, right? Take a look.

Before you get ready to shove those kids of yours out of the nest, here are what I consider to be (based on my experience as a person, a Mom, and a Grandma) the most important things you (or someone) should teach them about personal finance. Nope, not even Mom and Dad will support you forever. I hope to show you how to use debt wisely.

The New York Daily news reported that wife of Yankee ball player Alex Rodriguez’s wife ran up credit card debt of $100,000 when she found out about a dalliance between he and Madonna. To do so, I opened a joint savings account with my Mom and made sure hubby never saw the statements. My own examples are a bit more mundane.

Knowing about and utilizing this pension would have made my Mother-in-law’s life somewhat easier while she was growing up in that deceased Veteran’s household. We don’t like debt. When Mom died, my brother purchased additional plots adjacent to hers so that family coming after could rest there as well.

” You don’t, after all, want to spend 4 years sinking into credit card debt and then have to dig your way out while trying to start your career. Mom and Dad aren’t there to say NO to something that might harm you. Too often, individuals wait to read these terms after getting the card if at all.

The term “sinking fund” was originally a business term used to designate a savings account where a corporation holds funds for the repayment of a debt in order to improve their liquidity. Being able to actually see your savings grow in your sinking funds can be great motivation to look for additional ways to save money.

Growing up we tended to be a paycheck-to-paycheck family. We can get free apples from my mom and uncle and we make it into applesauce – usually 60-80 jars. My younger son and I have been volunteering there lately and the need seems to be growing more and more. How did you get interested in saving money? Being consistent.

My mom expected both my brother and I to find employment when we reached the legal age of 15, and enforced it by having us pay for half of our school clothes (well, the ones we wanted.

When my brother and I were growing up, our parents didn’t have much discretionary income. Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well.

If you ask any stressed mom what of her biggest concerns is, chances are that she’ll mention something about managing household finances and excess spending. It’s not just moms on a budget who create specific money goals. Any mom knows that kids get sick of toys and grow out of clothes pretty darn quickly.
