When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
When I was younger I was completely without money - when I was studying in Budapest, when I was a refugee.
My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.
When I was a nurse I never had much money, and I was still happy then.
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.
I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.
I had money, but I still didn't know what to do with my life.
My parents were born in 1912; they graduated from college into the Depression. They kept notebooks of every nickel they spent, and these habits of frugality from having grown up so poor never left them.
In the Great Depression, you bought something if you had the cash to buy it.
I grew up in an era when money was not readily available. We were into the post-Depression years and World War II.
