RE: Memoir Monday #22 (8/5-8/11) - How did you manage periods in your life when you had the least money?

Thanks David. It was the exact same for my family. My dad worked hard in a machine shop and always had multiple side gigs to make extra money. He was a true survivor. He passed a lot of those skills to my brother and I by his example. I don't mind spending money on things if they end up being a good value but possessions don't impress me. Freedom and experiences will always be worth more to me than things. My favorite thing in the world was to buy things for my dad before he passed and my mom now. They sacrificed so much raising my brother and I. Being able to spoil them is probably the biggest joy and blessing I'll have in my life.
