Other than the occasional exhortations to us, to save money...probably how I learned initially about dealing with money in a carefull way was the way how my parents saved money in a disciplined way..so that they could buy a house and move from a 1 bedroom apt. that was getting way too crowded for 5 children.

I knew how much my parents paid for their first home. And I was 11 yrs. old. I guess they trusted that I wouldn't blab it to anyone. It was abit rundown house, anyway.

But other than that, I learned from reading books and magazines.
