It's a good thing to see how your family place so much important on having family time out, like fun times, it's a rare thing in some families.

You said that your mom taught you how to save and that's what you are using to survive now. It is true that saving really matters alot in life, especially in this hard economy we are facing, then with your savings you can survive.

Thank you for sharing how important you valued your family, God bless you and success all the way.
