[Ima saver]

Yes I did. My father died before I was 10 and there was no money coming in. My mother had never worked before (born in 1907) so it took her a while to find a job making $20 a week. We skimpted on everything and I got a job when I was 12. I had to buy all my own clothes, shoes, school supplies, etc. from then on. I learned how to save money cause I saw how worried my mother was about money. She drove the same car for next 15 years.
