A Lesson for Success: Money and Cats
Financial stability is a dream of many people including myself — it’s why we get up early in the morning even if we rather don’t, why we work even if we don’t want to, why we push ourselves when things get tough.
Some people dream about it and work towards it for their kids, their significant other, or just themselves.
I didn’t grow up rich but my family definitely gave everything they had to support me, and sometimes even as an adult — I’m blessed like that.
But when I was growing up, I’ve been told ‘no’ a lot of times when asked if they could buy something for me — toys, food, or something else. Of course, now that I’m older, I get it. They didn’t want a spoiled kid, and thank heavens they didn’t get one.
There was one instance though, regarding money that stuck by me until now. My sister and I were raised by a single father — one income for three people.
I was asking for candy money, and I guess he didn’t have any. It’s the first time my dad ever yelled at me. We were both caught so off guard and the moment he did it, I immediately saw the regret in his face.
He wasn’t the type to yell — he was a chill dude. My sister and I literally see him as our best friend.
