[QUOTE="newstart, post: 746278, member: 22416"] Hi Nomad, It is just so weird that people that have actual degrees in finances and can't manage their own, I would not want them to manage mine. When my daughter was a young teen she would babysit for a couple that were Doctors, both highly respected in their field, and several times their checks would bounce. I know they lived way above their means. I have 2 close girlfriends, one a school bus driver that has managed to save a lot of money, pays all her bills on time, the other a civil engineer that is flat broke all the time. I declutter my life on a regular basis, less is truly more. I am grateful that I never felt the need to complete with anyone or the need to gather a bunch of stuff. I have never had a bill collector call me, NEVER and I have that call on a weekly basis with my daughter even when my name is not on her forms. That lifestyle would be too stressful for me, maybe if my daughter would take care of her business she would not have the TMJ or other weird health issues that are related to stress. I will try to read the millionaire next door. I remind my daughter that her dad and I got where we are from making wise financial decisions and mindful purchases. I see how wasteful my daughter is with things, she had a very nice bedroom set, she decided it was too heavy looking and dark so she gave it away, if it were me and I would have painted the set. My dad was raised during the depression and I learned a lot from him. [/QUOTE]
