Dad's, I'm stingy
-
My dad's! Very cautious.
-
Both really. I like nice clothes and buy them, as my Mom did, but I also manage my finances well, as my Dad.
-
mmmmmmmm. I dont know. thing is my dad's rich so I CANT spend like him. my mom probably, then. Actually...yeah my mom. She also thinks that if you buy people things it shows your love and I got that from her too. I've always bought things for my boyfriend(s)...only to get nothing in return

Neither....inherited only debt (which you don't have to pay)and have a lot more money than either of them left this world with. But I have to thank my dad for giving me all the oppotunities to put me in my current position. That and and a long stint in a nursing home is why he died with nothing. He gave everything to his kids.

Both! My parents were both very conservative and didn't like to spend money, but would spend occasionally for something that was really important to them after they'd waited for it for awhile. I am just like that. My mom's priorities lean toward clothes/furniture/house stuff while my dad's were 100% horse-related. Mine are usually clothes or horse or dog related.

neither

More of moms... my dad wastes money. I am fairly frugal.

Neither, my Dad was great with other peoples money but a disaster with his own, he'd always go right up to the edge of a bus. deal then back away at the last moment. My Mom only squirreled it away. I vowed early in life that I'd rather take a chance and fail than be sorry I missed an opportunity. I've had some tremendous businesses, some bad, some so-so and a few that were terrific. I wouldn't change a thing. Being a daring businessman has it's challenges but life hasn't been dull - not for a single moment. I think that's what life is all about. Carpe Diem

My impulses are like my mom to an extent, and that ends up in MASSIVE debt, but my dad taught me to think before I shop!
-
I developed my own :)
