I am different than most responders. My parents' financial example was the catalyst for my frugal/savings way, but it was more of a "I don't want to live like that". Basically, they lived check to check and on credit. A lot had to do with their circumstances. I've always been a saver, no matter what my income level, and I still subscribe to that theory. No matter how low your income, you can still save something. In terms of figuring out retirement planning, investing, etc. I did it on my own, but hope to pass my knowledge on to my children so they can get an earlier start.
