I'm above all...NoooT!!!

When I was growing up in Poland, my family would be described as the lower middle class. We were doing fine but there was always something missing. The reason for this might be that my parents were trying to save money. They had debts to pay for the house they were building (it's big house) and so a lot of the income went into the bank. I actually feel that my previous economic status gives me more hunger for success. I want to be better of economically than my parents, I think everyone has that dream.

Now, here in the U.S. my family is more like the middle class. Nothing essential is missing in our household. As always my parent continue to save as much money as possible but that doesn't put us in a bad economic situation. There is always money for something extra. If I compare the life over here to that life in Poland, I'd say it's better over here. But it's not like I wasn't happy over there because i was. My dream is to go back and live over there anyway.

Seeing how my parents struggled in the beginning and how much money they tried to save, made me respect the "value of money." I learned how to respect every job that is out there, believing that every job has a part in making someone a better person.

I'm out of ideas. Cya...

  1. Great post! I'm curious as to what's pulling you back to Poland - is there something outside the economic you can get there but not here?

  2. I really enjoyed reading your post and I believe your right everyone learns the value alot of things from our parents, but trying to achieve a certain status because you believe it would make you happier shouldnt be the reason, but hey thats just my opinon :)
