When I was growing up, I would ask for what I needed as well as what I just wanted, My parents would decide if the family could afford it. I did get an allowance, and would instantly purchase the something I wanted. I left the money decisions to my parents. As I became an employed) adult that is when I realized how important it was to manage my money. I made some mistakes. That is why when I met Alicia Hoffman of Moolah U, I had to speak to her about this program.
