I remember doing the thing about writing checks and maybe doing a budget. I don’t really remember though.

I learned from observing relatives who were pretty good about saving and being conservative.

Also, playing lemonade stand on the computer and Monopoly. It was fun to see the money add up, and I liked seeing that happen on my bank statements.

Role models to me were (and are) more like the entrepreneurs who were self made successes. On TV, Alex P. Keaton and the like.
