My parents were what most would call "upper middle-class". I paid for my first car by working with a brick layer during the summer and borrowing the rest from my Dad.
He taught me a lot about the value of hard work, saving, investing, and so on. I'll be forever grateful.

I was the oldest of 9 children. I worked 3 jobs through college and had a full tuition scholarship. I worked hard but still graduated summa cum laude. Best thing that ever happened to me by the sweat of my own brow. My first car cost $150 and I paid cash for it. Kids today are spoiled, indulged brats and still they are miserable. Not my kids. Not gonna happen.
