Work has made me realise how difficult it is to earn money. Before I had a job, I don't think I valued my parents' money. I just asked for an amount that I was happy with, without thinking about how hard my parents had worked to save up that money. Whether it be 10 dollars or 100. So from now on, I think I'm going to be a bit more stingier and actually save up for something that I REALLY want and need.
