Learning money skills from your parents after the fact
It’s never too late to learn from our parents and grandparents when it comes to money matters. The idea hit me while reading the article 13 ways to live well on less (great titles think alike!) and several of the money experts said they were just doing what their grandmothers did.
It’s not that our parents and grandparents always sat us down and told us how to manage our money - certainly wasn’t my experience - but good parenting really comes by setting a good example, and for the most part, our parents and grandparents did that very well with money. So if you didn’t absorb the lessons then, you can still learn from them by thinking back to what they did right to live within their means.
