re: #448 gymmom

We didn’t have much growing up, but were never in debt. My parents, their parents and siblings, and everyone I knew just lived like that. Never knew how well that lesson would do for me. This next generation has not had many role models, sad to say.

I’m now grateful Mother Blonde taught me how to head for clearance racks, scarf up Christmas items on December 26th, and the like. Good thing - I had a consumer ed class in high school, and they didn’t talk about day-to-day stuff like coupons, buying clothes off-season etc. Most kids just aren’t getting it now.
