Agreed. Once I was out of debt (thankfully this was in my mid 20's, I’m 50 now), I kept track of my income and expenses. Got easier once there were spending trackers app.

Maybe that’s where I got it from since I read Superfudge. I can’t remember because I read those books over 35 years ago.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and my parents thought it was weird for me to put ketchup on mashed potatoes.
