What’s a phrase your parents frequently used that you’ve come to understand was untrue?
One thing my parents used to say all the time was, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” At the time, I took it literally, thinking they were just trying to teach me the value of money. But now I realize that it was also a way of imparting a mindset about finances — that you have to work hard for what you want. While I appreciate that lesson, I also understand that financial opportunities can come in various forms, and sometimes taking calculated risks can lead to growth, just like investing in yourself or your education. What about you? What did your parents say that turned out to be a myth?
