Y & T,

Thanks so much for the great review and giveaway! I think the book’s helping a lot of people. Thanks for helping to get it out there. My lessons from high school were mainly from my parents, who lived frugally, saved relentlessly, spent on appreciating assets rather than stuff that would go down in value, and gave generously.

@Kevin- cool- sounds like your teacher was really proactive… my home ec teacher never taught us about finance or budgeting! Thanks for sharing, Kevin! Good luck =)

In what I thought would be an easy class my senior year, I took a Home Economics class. I learned a lot about cooking, but when we got to finance lessons the teacher taught us about budgeting. It was rudimentary, but the idea that you can list out income and expenses – including discretionary expenditures – was very useful. I’ve refined the budget process a lot as I’ve grown older, but the basics still pull from that 12th grade Home Ec class.

@Sunny- Hi! Love your site! I am always a big fan of female Canadian bloggers (like me!!). You’ll likely win the book, there’s only three entries so far LOL!! =) So you’re saying live below your means, and not lust after material things? (It’s nice to grow up in a smaller town, I don’t think people are as influenced by consumerism in smaller towns).

Hello! When I was in high school, finance wasn’t a problem. Not that I come from a rich family, but I grow up missing nothing. I don’t remember one specific thing I learn about finance while being in high school actually lol. I hing I learn how to save money naturally as my parents, even with modest income, were giving to me and my brother everything we needed. Also, coming from a small town, I wasn’t working during school year, only during the summer. There just not too many jobs from where I am coming from. So I could say living happily without having too much money is what I could say I learn from high school year
(I really want to win your book )))
