I love this thread! I learned SO MUCH from my parents, but one that sticks out is to educate/discipline yourself to do all the work that needs to be done in your life. So basically: "Paying people to do work you can do yourself is a tremendous waste of money". My dad built our home/our pool, maintained and repaired everything. They never owed anybody anything and neither did I once I got my mortgage paid off in my late 30's.
