[quote=Anonymous]My frugality is a result of watching my parents make poor financial decisions growing up. My father had/has a mental illness that encouraged frivolous spending. At one point they had to borrow money from us kids (gifts from grandparents) to put a new roof on the house. They've wizened up over the years and are frequently on our case about not making the same mistakes. I am thankful for both the fact that they did come around and I won't be supporting them in their retirement, but also that I am not playing "catch up" like they did. [/quote]
