Socioeconomic Diversity

I thought today's lecture on economics in families was extremely important. Money is such an important aspect of life no matter who you are. I always felt as if people saw money differently from one another and its interesting to see and think of how people i know would fit into those four categories listed.

I feel as if I see money as a kind of control. My father used as enjoyment and my mother as a form of security. These battling views of spend fast and save forever collide when it comes to their parenting because they are not joint on this matter. I see money as the one thing holding me back or limiting me.

I feel as if I have to earn enough money to do everything I want and take care of my basic needs at the same time. It wasn't until I took on these responsibilities in the last years, that I've realized how much money my life cost. I feel as if once I am able to pay for everythin I want, I then will have control over my own life.

I also feel as if it will be helpful to know these different categories so I can better see where someone else is coming from when it comes to money. I think its interesting that although the context of fights dealing with money are different from other conflicts, it is still not about the amount of money you have. I feel like people forget that when celebrities with lots of money break up and are surprised don't realize that money doesn't make any difference (most of the time).
