I was born in 81, my older sister in 78. She was always smart with money and always had cash on hand, I was always broke. Today she's pretty much broke (influence from her husband I expect) and I'm just about breaking even after a nasty financial crisis a few years ago. I fully intend to increase my means while not increasing my living expenses because I never want to be in that kind of situation again. My fiance and I both made mistakes and were smart enough to work to fix them.
My and my fiance's parents were born early 50's, but there's a split mentality there too; 3 out of 4 kept it at or below the means.
Some learn from other's mistakes, some learn from their own, others never learn (or give up).
