Most of the time, people are poor because they don't know how to make good choices. Being good with money is an acquired skill, and if your parents are poor, their parents are poor, your friends are poor and your neighbors are poor, who is going to teach you?[/quote]


This is so very true, took me a long time to realize until i found some books and ppl and this website to teach me otherwise. My mom was poor all her life, still is. No one told her how to do anything about it, finance wise. She had no one in her poor farming family and neither did I. I found out things thru curiosity and am still learning.
