[quote=Anonymous]I grew up MC (not UMC). I went to private school but was on significant financial aid. I had a job since I was 14 yr old and from that point on if I wanted clothes, a certain shampoo, a CD, some makeup, etc., I had to pay for it. No fancy vacations. Only vacations were where we could drive to, like a state park or Virginia Beach. I didn't get a passport until I was 26. My parents worked commissioned based jobs (only being in real estate) which made income very unstable and we always had bill collectors calling. We were not allowed to do any expensive extra curriculars and I even had to pay the fees to pay for my APs, ACTs and SATs (my parents weren't mean, they just didn't have the money and I had younger siblings). My parents were just so bad with money, it was a vicious cycle and caused so much stress. I broke this cycle and am very proud to be financially independent and stable.[/quote]
