text: what do you wish your mom had warned you about? be serious now...or humorous, not vulgar.... my mother was/is a great mom.  i feel she only failed me in teaching me about money/finances.  i learned...but late.  my daughter is not yet one, but i have already opened up a savings account (i put in a dollar a day).   i wish my mother had warned me about how hard it is to get and stay in good financial standing.
