My grandmother told me: 'Never be in debt to anyone or anything.' Which is probably why I've never been financially extravagant - I still go to Costco. I'm always conscious of living within my means.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have never had personal debt and never will.
Honestly, I'm not an extravagant person; I don't spend a lot of money.
I've lived so frugally for so long. I have to have that financial security or the world feels out of control for me.
With three kids, it was always very, very tight, and it was always a scramble for what was my next job. So I learned never to go into debt because I don't want those monthly payments to preoccupy my thoughts.
There is scarcely anything that drags a person down like debt.
I am quite a spendthrift but just being careful because my family was not rich, was not a rich family.
I'm a little lavish I must admit. But I'm not really concerned with money. Being rich is not my goal, being wealthy is.
I try to be very modest with what I do. I'm not a frivolous spender.
I've lived very well all my life, even when I had no money, and there's very little I can't afford.
The first time I had money, I was extravagant, but then you realise it's not just about that. If I lost it all tomorrow, it wouldn't be me that's hurt, it would be my babies. It would be more about people's opinion of me that would concern me.
