We didn't have a lot of money growing up, so my mom didn't buy a lot of extras, like sweet things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was from a tough neighborhood, and we didn't have a lot of money, but my dad worked hard, and my mom is good at budgeting things. That made me appreciate things.
I had a wonderful mother who wanted my sister and me to have everything, even though money was a very prominent thing we didn't have. But we had a very happy childhood - pretty much ideal, in fact.
Since I was 13, I've been buying things because they are ridiculously cheap.
We had very few things. I had a couple pairs of jeans, a couple shirts. And same with my mom and sister. I think my sister had, like, two toys. We were living off of instant noodles.
My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.
My mom told me I never had enough Tonka toys when I was growing up.
When you're a child, you take things for granted. For instance, my mum didn't have a lot of money, but I went to piano, ballet and gymnastics lessons, and tae kwon do.
I didn't grow up with a lot of money, so my mom didn't have random money to buy me a car, and I didn't have money to have a car unless I worked, so I didn't get a car until I got my first job at 18.
I bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff.
We didn't have much money. My whole extended family used to help us, and buy us books and food. It was hard, and there were things I didn't want to talk about. But at the end I was a happy girl.
