I'm 24 going on 25 next month. I will be making almost twice as much than my parents combined, which will be helpful to my family. They have been counting on me. I come from humble beginnings. I have been sacrificing not having a car and taking public transportation to get to school, asking friends for rides to places recently since one of my parent's cars went out of commission last year.
I don't have any nice clothes, jewelry, not even a bunch of video game systems either. I have been blessed by getting an education and a degree where I can be able to help people. In turn, I will be compensated well for the job that I will do and be able to help my family as well.
Like I said, I am not in it to be flashy or pretend like I am rich and spend money just because I have it. A car is the only thing I will really be spending my extra money on. I know what is ahead of me and a driving is one thing besides playing sports that help keep me unstressed.
