No I never counted mom's money, and she wrote all the checks for the small business we had. I didn't ever know the accounts balance. It just seem to me she wanted such perfection in everything, ever her hand writing wasn't up to par. Another thing she might say to me, "why can't you be like so & so"? Like she admired, and wanted to be with the up and up rich people. However I never had to dress up, but she always was.
