[quote=Anonymous]We’re UMC, but we buy a lot of things used. The kids know we buy some Christmas presents from yard sales, but that’s only for gifts to family. For example, one of my presents was a book I’d picked up from the library sale. It was in great shape. It cost $4. I’m excited to read it. I have a whole room of furniture that I don’t care for, but the sellers left it for free. I’ll never replace it, though we could afford to, because our kids need to see us saving money, even on items that are importantly to us. We’re also talking about saving/investing/financial stewardship in an organic matter. We’re trying to encourage a good work ethic. We go to a Boy Scout troop in a MC part of town, so our kids have friends beyond our posh neighborhood. [/quote]
