Comments on: What Did You Learn About Finance from Your Parents? http://www.creditwithdrawal.com/wordpress/2007/08/31/what-did-you-learn-about-finance-from-your-parents/ Helping You Kick the Credit Habit, One Good Idea at a Time Thu, 31 Dec 2009 04:56:04 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: plonkee http://www.creditwithdrawal.com/wordpress/2007/08/31/what-did-you-learn-about-finance-from-your-parents/comment-page-1/#comment-844 plonkee Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:50:25 +0000 http://www.creditwithdrawal.com/?p=38#comment-844 Thanks for pointing out this post. The biggest piece of financial advice that I got from my parents was to "always pay your credit card bill off in full". And, to be fair, that's good advice. But they didn't really teach me about personal finance either, and I think that it's lucky that I have an interest in it, and a strong aversion to bad debt. My siblings - who have many great things going for them - have not been so lucky and I think they're now paying back all their credit cards. Thanks for pointing out this post.
