I grew up with only a in a fucked up home. I had a mom and a dad. but my dad was an alcoholic. and I do not blame him. at 8 years old cause I was brainwashed by my mom I thought I needed to take care of her so I started collecting cans. I lived in a community that was rich in cans. so I made about 2-300 a week collecting cans. multiply this by 4 years I had over 20k at 12 years old never spent a dime. my gmom said you spent a good time saving you deserver you buy yourself something we go to the store to buy a game and its declined. insufficient balance. she buys me the game and we go to the bank to find out what happened. my bank account is at .34 cents . she gets mad cause my mom went on a shopping spree with my money but im a child there is nothing I can do. starts collecting savings bonds. every time I get enough money from that point on she gets me a savings bond says the govn is saving my money. 2 years of this my mom finds the bonds and cut them in half. I know this doesnt make them bad but it still hurt. lol still never collected them bonds cause my aunt later said they burned in a fire
