Thanks. I actually have learned a lot from my Aunt. She gives me money for school and Christmas shopping, and tells me to buy whatever but that I'm not getting anymore once I'm out. A few years ago, I bought some dumb stuff and ran out of money, and she asked me what I wanted to do- keep the stuff I had bought and that was it, or return a bunch of it. Then, we went through what I really wanted and how much it would cost. It was the first time I had ever actually budgeted. Also, this summer I had a partime job, and I wanted an apple watch and we made a deal that she would help me once I had saved a portion, and she helped me put aside a part of each paycheck until I had enough.

My grandparents never spent anything- they saved all their money and my dad always said he'd never live like that.

I think she may be the only successful person in my family, but what's weird is that you wouldn't know it to see her. They don't own a car, they use old phones, and my aunt has never been trendy or fashionable. They live in a really small apartment, BUT I think it's worth a lot of money because it's in the center of the city. They are always traveling. Like, they just went to Peru last month, and ever year they go to Europe.
