Salute breh. My dad was old school. When I asked him why I had to sit down with him to do the bills. He would say cause you a man and you need to know how to be responsible with things and cause you the oldest.
My dad grew up dirt ass poor. His mom my grandmother was a black woman from Mississippi with a 4th grade education that had to quit school to support her family share cropping.
So he took no shyt when it came to making money, saving money and going to school.
My dad was so cold blooded. One day my younger sister was like 7 and she asked for a 100 dollar barbie house. My dad was like hell naw 100 dollars. I am gonna show you how to get your own barbie house.
My dad gets a table, 2 chairs, some card board, a pitcher, some kool aid packs and sugar. Then says to me and my sister go outside our house and set up a stand to sell kool aid...

One last thing my home girl (done known her since I was a child). She a single mom who had kids as a teenager (14 and 15 years old) and done raised two engineers who had full rides at two big ten schools.
She had then young boys so on point. That starting at 5 years old they had to take a portion of their allowance and put it in a piggy bank labeled as bills. Which she would use to pay rent and the light bills. She did this as a way to teach the kids how to pay bills and be responsible. That's why them boys were so responsible as teenagers and young adults. Them boys 22 and 23 now and they probably better with money than most 40 to 60 year olds...
