When I wrote my second post about my financial mistakes I purposely mentioned that no one was responsible for my debt but me, it's so important. I read something recently about how people are taught to externalize things from childhood for example "I didn't do well in that class because of the teacher" or "my parents didn't pay for my college which is why I am broke" and actually those people never are able to cope with/see their mistakes by internalizing their own actions! <br/>Great post!

Much more my style. <br/><br/>Thanks for the mention! Preach it! I’m almost dreading reading the rest of (Not) Keeping Up With Our Parents. I’m sure I’ll get lots of blog mileage out of it though.

We are all responsible for our own debt, making healthy choices (daily struggle),raising competent children with strong morals and values, and making a choice everyday to be kind. Do you think being a "victim" and being a "whiner" is sometimes the same thing? Exactly!!!
