Pam's Picks: Learning from Grandparents, Ourselves and the Super Rich

What an amazing week!  I have such a long list of fabulous articles and blog posts that let's just jump right in...

Cheapchic shared on Mint.com her thoughts on 5 money lessons we can learn from Grandpa and Grandma.  I found myself nodding along as I read her list of five pieces of practical advice, from avoiding debt to buying experiences instead of things.



Andrea at Nickel by Nickel gives her former self advice in 10 things I wish I could tell my 16 year old self about money.  She would give herself some excellent pointers on bank fees, credit cards, buying a home, etc.  Now if we can just figure out a way to get those 16 year olds to listen!

Kathryn Scarecrow on The Globe and Mail shares what the middle class can learn from the mistakes of the super rich.  Is greater wealth synonymous with greater happiness?  Find out why we shouldn't give our kids everything.
