My parents taught me squat

Submitted by A Tentative Personal Finance Blog on June 20, 2007 - 05:15.

My parents taught me squat about money, except how to hoard it for myself. But now I'm married and have learned the hard ways of savings and investing and just my general thought process on what money is and isn't. It's been tough and blogging has helped me clear up misconceptions and put my ideas into concise words.

My folks did teach me though that if you worked your butts off you can retire in your early 40s.
