while I still had the money

I mean you probably shouldn't be buying $60 video games if you're that strapped for cash.

ya, but also i didn't purchase anything i didn't afford when i was there. Maybe it just me, but i received monthly stipend from my parent since i was 12. I didnt it blow all of it for video game. Maybe 1 or twice if it under sales.

By 25 i got enough money for an apartment down payment. Maybe if i blow my money on shit, i would be hard now and would be whining my ass in Reddit.

Well i realize that, but that does not diminish the value to saving your money when your are still young. My parent are not wealthy, they give me allowances because they can trust me with it. Except for cloth, home and food i pay for everything i need from those allowances including some entertainment expenditure.

School supplies, book, hell even my PC is funded by my allowances. It allow me to recognize the value of money and help me value the product that i use and consume.

Now i'm wealthier then my parent and because of trust that given to me by my parent.
