I’ve always had expensive taste but when I was 17 I had to learn the hard way that didn’t really work in the real world. My dad died and my mom and I started having to cut corners left and right so I got a part time job and starting saving my pennies when I could so that I could pay for college and deal with any unexpected expenses that came up as I knew they would. When I got out on my own I moved to Texas and got a great condo…I even went to SHOPelectricityRatesTexas.com to look into energy rates like a responsible adult – I was so proud of myself for being so frugal. I think there’s something to be said for knowing where you came from and what you’re capable of and not living outside of your means. That’s precisely where America got itself into trouble – trying to finance a lifestyle that we didn’t need. Now I live the way I should and I make sure to save every month!
