Good morning UK and else ;) :)

Here´s the question of the day for the wednesday! :nod:

32.- What personal values are important to you? What have you done (or what's currently doing) to teach these values to their children? :think:

:nod::wavey:

...with the cats...
i don't have (human) children of my own, but i do have a niece and nephews. my approach has been to teach by example. two values i believe in very strongly are taking responsibility for my actions, and living within my means. these days it seems like so many are quick to buy on credit, to the point of many times racking up a lot of debt. i've been there and done that, and i've also had to dig myself out from all the debt. my credit score is doing well these days, slowly getting higher and higher over time as i continue to carefully manage my money and pay all my bills on time. my dream from when i was very young was always to be a homeowner, and i've been able to realize that dream. i tell friends and relatives that there's always a way to get something you want to do done, you just have to find the way. i place a very high value on being able to 'think outside the box', and that ability helped me to realize my dream of becoming a homeowner. my hope is that by seeing how i approach things, my niece and nephews will learn that if you do the 'footwork', you'll be able to reach your goals.

Kindness and being respectful of others.  I don't have children, either, but always tried to live by example with my stepkids.
