[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 262622, member: 1514"] Oh...I had to learn that money wasnt some weird thing other people had to talk about. My family was fairly well off when I was growing up and they never taught me about money...of course they never taught me anything about responsibility like chores either. I thought there was a clean clothes fairy, a cooking fairy and a cleaning fairy. Things just appeared in my world...lol. My one big chore all through my life was emptying the dishwasher...oh gawd! I was so ill-prepared for real life. I had no idea how to budget on a shoe string, I had no clue how to cook, clean or wash clothes. I was in for such a shock when I moved out. Did you know that when you toss dirty clothes in the closet that they dont wash themselves? LOL. I was astounded. I was also flabbergasted that you actually had to have money in the bank even though you have checks left. OMG. I couldnt believe it. But my parents had always taken care of that for me...lol. Yes...I was spoiled. I had to learn that I could not live the way I had lived on my fathers salary when I was living with a man who just didnt make the same thing. I learned to live within our means. It took me some disasters though to get to that point. [/QUOTE]
