When I was a child, we were poor, but so was everybody that I knew. My parents were very conservative, saved their money, and were able to buy land by the time I was a teenager. They worked hard, improved the land, saved their pennies and bought more land. By the time they retired, they were far from being rich but were comfortable. I didn't need to ask the reason for their financial status, because I had seen how what they had was obtained. I tended the livestock and worked in the fields along side them. I watched my mother write down how every penny was spent. I didn't have to ask; I knew!

Hello,Queen! I did not ask my parents about the economic instability of our family,as i know the reason quite well.my father was an honest government officer and with his limited income fed us and gave us the education.so also we the five sons are honest to the finger tip and could not prosper much but all of us are happy with whatever assets we have made out of our scanty income.thanx.

I have never thought it as having of any use-I didnt find them any rich-but I guess, it was because, they werent born into wealth-but wealth is something you can make it too, if you cant make, let your own children try-that is why, I have this feeling that I am living a better life now than I lived under my parents-it also means, my children are living better now than I lived as a child-i hope their childrens' children live better than them-I have also known families who live better under their rich parents, but grew up only to blow away all the riches their parents built- these are common aspects of life!

Well we are average middle class people and I would always wanted to know why I was rich. As I have grown up now I understand how difficult it is to earn money. So I feel I am a mature person now. What about you?

Not really, I've always understood the way we live, I don't know but I never had the interest of asking my Mom why we were not rich as the others.
