They bought me one pair of trainers the whole year
I made my own tea/supper
I paid rent money from 17 years old
I never got a college bursary as my parents combined income was too high. So I dropped out to work
I d $#n well know the value of money! I am not a spoilt millenial. I have worked for everything in my life.

The above list looks like what everyone else, including myself, did to survive and learn to live responsibly. The above list has been the default schedule and tasks for most people I know. I am glad that I had to do the above and also took on more responsibilities. It prepared me for life and it certainly helped me not to grow up like a princess.
