| Lenona <lenona321@yahoo.com>: Jan 20 06:14AM -0800 The title is a joke, of course. But the reporter who ASKED the question in 2008(?) wasn't joking... https://www.livingonadime.com/frugal-living-harming-depriving-kids/ The article is short, but there are many comments. Excerpts: "...They have learned at an early age what it takes some adults a lifetime to learn (and many die never knowing)– that happiness is not related to how much money and stuff you have. If you are not happy without money, you won't be happy with money either. "What that poor reporter didn't understand and so many others can't wrap their mind around is – Happiness is love and freedom and when you have debt free parents that love you, you have everything." |
