I don't want an elaborate production like my sisters', but I sure could use that money for a down payment on a house.
  • you are responsible for you

    You're responsible for yourself, you can't expect anyone else to take care of you. I was a single woman til age 43 and prior to marrying, I saved for and bought my own home. I wanted a house and knew that if there's something I want out of life, I can expect only 1 person to provide it: ME.

    I went without for a long time, didn't get new outfits or eat out a lot like more young professionals. Just saved, used the library instead of Barnes & Noble, brewed my own coffee at home, and knew I could always rely on myself. I never expect anyone to take care of me.
