99%

I've never thought to think about money until now. Now is the time I realize how much my parents love me to spend that much on me-insurance, education, etc..

I'm lucky to be a girl, too. My brother always complains about having an 'expensive' girlfriend, because he pays for everything. It's tradition, and I don't know what started it, I have an idea, but I am not questioning it. I'm grateful for this, because I would be broke if I always had to pay for someone else.

I am very aware of my money and try to save as much as possible. My parents still pay for meals, but if it's anything entertainment wise I normally have to provide myself. I've always believed that change added up, so I always tried to value a penny.

Watching this videos in class make me realize how fortunate I am. My family can afford all of these things for me. Yes, money is still an issue, but I never realized how much worse it could be. We are in the 99%.
