What I really liked…. Cool canoe picture.

I’m glad to hear you’ve benefited from the lessons they learned.

My parent’s were Frugal Fran because they grew up during the depression. They passed their frugality on to me.

You’re very lucky to have learned to avoid debt from such an early age. Our story’s a little different as we were initially debt free, got into debt while at school, paid that off, got into it again when buying cars and furnishing our house, and have now paid that off.

So we’ve got lots of experience owing and being debt free and I can say that being debt free is so much better.

Great post. It kind of reminded me of one of Aesop’s Fables that my dad used to tell me when I was a kid.

My parents immigrated to the US with only $500 and half of that went to pay their first month of rent. That was back in the 70s. Although my parents were educated, they really worked hard to achieve the American Dream. I was born in the US and had to learn American customs on my own. I can remember being a kid and my father saying, never buy something unless you have the money for it. Debt was equivalent to evil in my house.

I am so happy to have learned that at a young age and I rather be like Fran with my tiny little canoe and no holes!

Thanks for a great post and have a great weekend!
