I've made all my money on my own without my family and I work very hard.

I never wanted to rely on my family for money.

In the past, I never gave money to my children when they were young in return for nothing. When one of them approached me to give them cash, I asked them to do some work in exchange for it.

My parents didn't have any money.

I come from a family of working women, my mum went to work two weeks after I was born - my parents had no money, there was no choice.

My parents had no money, but they had strong values that I've carried throughout my life - things like not going into debt, never borrowing money, never leveraging, paying your bills on time, keeping your agreements, selling customers the right things, treating employees right, and growing things.

We all know of families who have obligated themselves for more than they could pay. There is a world of heartache behind such cases.

I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.

I haven't put an ounce of effort into my families. I never have.

I'd never really thought about it before, but now you ask I can see that how my parents handled money definitely affected my relationship with it.
