What are 3 things you remember hearing about money when you were growing up?
Mine were: “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “Do you think we’re made of money?” and “Save your money and spend it on big, important things.”
What did those messages mean to you when you heard them? Do you think those things were helpful to you then? Are they still helpful or are they outdated?
I decided that the first two messages meant stop asking for stuff we can’t afford. I was a good kid and obeyed. The truth is, I never lacked for anything important, and I certainly didn’t need a drawer full of cashmere sweaters like some of my friends bragged about. I resented those things when I heard them, and they probably helped me spend money on the things I really value. The unhelpful part was an outmoded belief in scarcity.
The final message meant I could save my babysitting money and buy myself a sewing machine when I was 12 and pay my college tuition. The unhelpful part being trained to forgo the small things that make life more fun.
