Michelle Singletary Quotes About Grandmothers

• If we aren't careful, our children will come down with 'affluenza,' a disease that causes them to confuse wants and needs. We need to teach our children what my grandmother taught me: Think twice about spending money you don't have on things you don't need to impress people you don't like anyway.

• My grandmother's grandparents were slaves. My grandmother Big Mama would tell me about the stories she heard as a child growing up in the shadows of a North Carolina plantation.

It is with this black history that I write about the financial challenges African-Americans still have.

• Mi Big Mama es mi modelo financiero número uno. Muchos de mis consejos se basan en lo que ella me enseñó. Nunca ganó más de 13.000 dólares al año, pero pagó su casa antes de jubilarse. Ahorraba dinero de cada sueldo. Me enseñó a ser escéptica. Me hace llorar pensar que soy columnista de finanzas personales en uno de los mejores periódicos del mundo y que mis principales consejos provienen de mi abuela negra, que era auxiliar de enfermería y sólo tenía estudios de secundaria.

• Las escuelas no pueden abarcar todos los valores que van unidos a cómo manejas tu dinero. Por ejemplo, puede que una clase de educación financiera no me enseñe a odiar las deudas como lo hacía mi abuela, Big Mama.
