Many of us came from families with a high level of financial acumen, many of us did not. Regardless, we listen to people outside of our social circles differently, even when it's the same information our family and friends may have already given us.
What financial lessons can you share here that have worked in your life?
My wife and I have 2 kids and one day will be coming into a rather big amount of money. I believe it will start with monthly checks, in the next couple years, and then a lump sum eventually. They've always used money market accounts and have very conservative investments. Other than that, would like to hear from others about mistakes or victories they've made during their lives, when it comes to their finances.
