Second part

In this second part of the journal, I want to emphasize that money has always been a sensitive issue in the family. We had relatives who lost a lot with gambling, women, and alcohol.

From an early age, my set of principles and beliefs about money was always tight. I knew I needed to learn how to earn my own, to save is to multiply.

Therefore, since I was 13 years old, I started… I filled 3 piggy banks with coins, did small jobs during the holidays to raise some cash, and sold candy to children (and made a profit).

But when adolescence arrived, other tastes and desires came with it.

So, now I wanted to buy clothes and shoes. This cost more, and that little money I earned as a child no longer satisfied me. I asked my father to let me work at 15 years old. Request, rejected. But, at 16, I began.

My first job was making hamburgers, cleaning floors, and making ice cream. Exhausting? Very! Did I earn money? About $70/month! Did I learn? A lot! And that's the moral of the story…

Tomorrow I'll be back to report on my first entrepreneurial journeys.
