2 jobs and an inclination towards spending over saving |
When I was five years old, my Mom told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wrote down “happy”. |
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life. |
