I learned a lot from my family through their actions, not their words.
From my father I learned that windfalls are for spending them on hobbies, and that it's smart to splurge on special offers that you never knew you needed. Also, only save money using products like life insurance, because you can't beat their return. Keeping lines of credit around is smart, too. If you are not spending your money and taking care of your savings, you're "greedy", and saved allowance can be taken away from you (if you haven't spent it, you obviously didn't need it, right?). From my mother I learned that putting all your hard-earned money on a shared account is ok, even if all that money is being spent by your non-working partner and there's nothing left for yourself. From my grandparents I learned that you should trust your family and keep giving them your money, even if you will never get paid back and people keep lying to you about what they need the money for. From my siblings I learned that money is a means of having fun with friends, and everything else is secondary.
Pretty thorough lessons, all in all. This led to my wife and me each having an independent career, having one's own money, currently saving almost 50% of our income, and no debt besides mortgage. I think I should be thankful for the lessons, and in a way, I am.
Edit: Re-reading my post, I'm sorry for giving this positive thread such a sour taste! I guess I was in a pretty bad mood when writing this story. I also have some very lovely relatives!
