We inherit more than money. We inherit money lessons.
The way we save, spend, borrow, manage debt and think about financial responsibility is often shaped by the people and communities around us. For many South African families, that also includes the reality of the responsibility of supporting family while building your own financial future.
Heritage Month gives us an opportunity to think about the financial lessons we have inherited, the habits we have developed and the lessons we want to pass on or discard.
What is one good money and credit lesson you inherited that has stayed with you?
What is one bad money and credit lesson you inherited that you wish to warn others against?
Tell us in the comments: what is one good or bad money lesson you inherited?
