Well, I’ll tell you what, I kept my expenses down (didn’t buy a car, skipped prom— but that’s a long story— watched what I spent) and I spent my senior year working in the local grocery store and earned a good chunk of my college fund. I rarely ask my parents for money.
Now, my aunt, who’s a dairy farmer, offered me a job making hay over the summer when I was a teenager. If it wasn’t for the fact it was 10 miles away and my family didn’t have a car, I just may have accepted his offer. I’m not sure many people would even consider taking that proposal.
Work ethic is an important thing to learn.
I had you figured as someone who knows about work and watching your pennies.
