6. Why worry? I have no money. Worrying won't change that.

9. I worry very little about my finances
And it isn't because I'm rich, or have lots of money. The reason I don't worry is twofold. First, I've been homeless, broke, starving for days, I know the depths of poverty all to well, and I have realized that one can survive regardless. The second is because I plan for what I can, don't sweat the small stuff, and if there is an unforeseen crisis, well, shit happens.

I'm not lacksidaisicalabout money, I do plan for the future, invest, save etc. But I think that life is entirely to short to obsess over it constantly.

11. 3-4
Got one kid in college and another heading there in a year. So far haven't had to take out any loans but that may change. It wouldn't be fare to #2 to get saddles with student loans just because she was born second.
