I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up with no money. No money. I always struggled and had the sense that there was this other class of people who went to college - this was when I was younger.
I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.
I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.
When I was growing up, we never had much money. My parents were divorced young, but I was always surrounded by loving individuals. They couldn't give us riches, but they gave us their stories, their hearts, and their time.
I'm too careful with money - comes out of being poor for several years while growing up.
When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways.
I'd never had money growing up, and it's never been that important to me, except maybe to take our kids on a nice vacation or something like that.
My parents were working class folks. My dad was a bartender for most of his life, my mom was a maid and a cashier and a stock clerk at WalMart. We were not people of financial means in terms of significant financial means. I always told them, 'I didn't always have what I wanted. I always had what I needed.' My parents always provided that.
In all honesty, I grew up a certain way. I never had to worry about money... that was my reality.
I had one year of struggle. My parents were always there, but I didn't want to rely on them. Now it's moving pretty fast. I'm not rich, but obviously this is fantastic. All I know to do with money is put it in a shoebox anyway.
