Mama knows best

As I grow older I realize that a lot of what I do in my financial life goes back to what I experienced as a child. In other words, I always feel like I'm a paycheck away from being a bag lady -- an absolutely false impression that nonethless is hard to overcome. I am constantly haranguing my kids about fiscal prudence as well. In fact, I've sent them "mom's list to financial success" at various times.
Just this morning I came across a similar list that parallels some of what I've told my children. Thought you would enjoy.
