Default Re: Were you money savvy as a youth?

Yes, but I'm not sure where it came from. I would get $$ for birthdays from my grandmother, and I don't remember if this was my parents' rule or what but it always went into my savings account. Once I started babysitting etc, that money went in there, too.

My money habits (such as they are) now are mostly thanks to my sister. She is 11 years older than me and she is very pro-budget, pro-saving. She taught me a lot very early about saving, so that the second I got out of college I opened a Roth IRA.
