I’m always approached for advice on how I manage my money so well. I say that hearing endless stories about people being stuck in debt, such as a neighbor who lost his house because of loans he couldn’t pay, a gambling fiend who struck it lucky once before going on a losing streak that had him forever indebted to friends, and other stories about financial woes that lead people to depression and declining health has pushed me to be wise with my finances at an early age.
