- My younger sister and I grew up in a single-parent family. Our father was a construction worker and was always away for work. It wasn't easy for him to provide for us all, so we had to help him somehow. I started making money when I sold homemade sandwiches at school. My sister Amy babysat our neighbours' kids. Still, that wasn't enough to cover all our expenses. When it was time to go to college, we had to take a loan. Yes, life wasn't easy for us, but we never complained. We had each others' backs, and that was what mattered.

- If you offered me an expensive car or a case full of money, or a luxurious piece of jewellery, I would never accept it. I honestly don't believe there's anything for free in this world. When you see a discount at the grocery store, it's not a gift, but a carefully planned trick to make you buy something you didn't intend to. Or you may want to donate some money to charity when, in fact, it turns out to be a fake company that steals your money. It's all in the news. Money makes people do terrible things. People are willing to commit crimes to get some "easy" money. I even had a few friends who never paid back the money they'd borrowed. How can I trust someone after such behaviour? It's not that money is all bad, but what it does to people is awful and wrong.

- Lorel was a friend of mine from university. She was an ordinary secretary at a company and didn't earn much. One day Lorel called me and said that she had won a lottery. I was so happy for her, but a bit worried. She'd never had that much money on hand. I was afraid she'd waste it all. Lorel was so excited about her prize, that she immediately quit her boring job, bought a car that cost a fortune and decided to set on a journey. I begged her to slow down and to put the lottery money on a bank account, to save for the future. But she wouldn't listen. After a month or two, she called again. She'd wasted all her money on designer clothes, expensive restaurants and a road trip across Europe. She told me she was completely broke. That's what's called "easy come, easy go".
