Fathers Day: What My Father Taught Me About Money

Julie Murphy • June 18, 2010

In light of Fathers Day, I thought I would share some things my own father taught me about money.  Growing up, we didn’t have much but these lessons will last a lifetime.

-Having More Money Doesn’t Necessarily Make You A Happier Person.

-It’s Always Good To Have A “Stash” For Emergencies.

-Don’t Spend Money on Anything That Is Not A Priority For You.

Happy Fathers Day!
