If you don’t know me, I not only welcome you to my blog, but I also invite you to click on “view my complete profile” on the left side of the page. That will help you understand who I am, and my desire for discussing this topic.
One of the things I’ve become interested in recently is finances and how it plays into social status and behavior. From a psychology standpoint, I tend to ask the question “why.” I’m not intending to create a forum of whiners, but a place to hash out the why’s behind certain financial tendencies.
Now instead of immediately throwing out a bunch of statistics, I’d like to hear from you. In a way, gather my own statistics. I’m very interested in exploring how others’ backgrounds have affected them, and what their opinions on specific topics might be. One’s background definitely plays a role in their current position, but I believe it doesn’t dictate it. So let’s start with ourselves.
How did your parents introduce you to money?
Did you have to ask?
Did you get it for rewards/presents?
Did they fight about money?
Did you know anything at all about money as a child?
In addition to a written response, please feel free to take the survey on the side of the blog as well!
