And this is me finding the whole thing strange. Sure I have been living in Australia for over half of my life now but I'm Chinese. I can remember, as far back as when I was 6-yr-old, mum explaining to me how much money she earns and how much it was going to cost to pay for bills, etc. Hmm, dad did the same thing. Both of them never brushed me off about how much they earned, I mean I asked mum and dad about it a few days ago, and both of them sort of blinked at me assumming that all parents told their children about moeny and bills etc., to teach them about the importance of saving and budgeting.
