My parents never sat me down and spoke to me about my families finances, budgeting, etc. I learned the value of money myself because I had to work for every dollar I made. I was never handed free money by my parents, and I believe this helped me better understand the value of money.

Growing up, my mom always used the phrase, "we need to budget." Now I find myself doing the same thing. She still says it! But when I have children, I really do want to keep them in the know as to how we work the household budget. I don't think kids should know EVERYTHING about my finances, but enough for them to realize that money doesn't grow on trees and living w/in our means is the best route to take.
