[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DH and I were dating he had no concept of budget. He spent a lot when he got paid and couldn’t make it last until the next paycheck. No one ever told him about saving. He had been deprived of a lot growing up and REALLY liked to buy things. Lots of reasons. He’s a saver now but if I hadn’t intervened and brought some financial literacy into his life, he’d probably be in a ton of debt and made years of bad financial decisions. [/quote] Usually when people grow up poor, they prefer to save money so that they always have some when they really need it.[/quote] One of his siblings did (almost to an unhealthy degree). The others inherited their parents feast-or-famine mentality. They can’t save because they spend as they get it. [/quote]
