Anyone remember the play and/or movie, "I Remember Mama"? In it, each week when father brings home the pay, they go through and set aside money to pay their bills, and with relief they say, "well, we won't have to go to the bank this week" or something like that implying they might have to take money out of savings. At the end of the play, Mama tells the daughter they really didn't have any money in the bank, but they wanted the kids to feel secure so they told them that. You quote kind of made me think of that...you learned from your parents and from your own experiences, hakuna! Good for you!
On another note, I think it was either implied or said, "I deserve to buy ______ because I work so hard."
