The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.
When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.
But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn't counting on money to much.
Growing up, I didn't know anything about money other than we didn't have any.
It was a matter of not living lavishly but enjoying what you had, growing things with your hands, working hard, but not being tied to a nine-to-five job, and generally feeling that there's more to life than money.
To me, money is independence. It gives you freedom to do what you really want to do. It allows you to not be dependent on anyone or anything, and so you can be yourself and follow your passion.
Anytime I have communicated with college-going people, fresh out of college, looking for a job - money is very important, that is just so important. What is not important is how do you plan to live your life or the larger picture. Not that I had such philosophical intentions when I was 18, but I think there was lesser importance for money.
I wasn't really taught about the value of money. I just learnt it as I grew up, but I do remember my dad telling me that it was important to always have some savings, and that stuck with me. I've always believed that putting money aside is a good thing.
Money is a very important tool to make a big difference in people's life. It is positive or negative depending on the values.
Money's important. Everyone cares about money. And when you don't have money, money becomes the overriding obsession of your life.
