My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Mom was a housewife; Dad was an accountant. They taught me a lot about the value of working hard.
I knew I wanted considerable education so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as my parents.
I learned the value of hard work by working hard.
My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.
Every time I got paid, I would give my parents money. I would save some money, and I would have a little money to spend.
My parents taught me everything and set me up for life. I owe to them all the things I'm passionate about: music, art, the people I love, my career and family life, the fact that I have children and the way that I raise them.
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.
The blessing that I got from my parents, even if they didn't really teach me about money, was their simple lifestyle.
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.
