[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Piggybacking off the earlier thread on cheap parents.....anyone feel their parents overspent on them? I had all the latest and greatest material items growing up. However was saddled with student loan debt. As a young adult once I understood more about money, I was really confused about why my parents prioritized fancy vacations and clothes over educational savings. Anyone else’s feel their parents overspent?[/quote] No. My parents gave me fancy vacations and clothes and paid for all my education so I had no debt upon graduating. It means that I am now able to succeed in ways that they dreamt about, and am able to put my kids (their grandkids) in the same position I was put in. I also learned how not to waste money. It wasn't that we were super rich. It was more that we never impulse bought, we made wise investments, and only spent money on things that were meaningful. These lessons about money were so valuable.[/quote]
