Naw, I got a hard lesson at 10! I went to buy a 6CD changer sound system that was $99.99, and I had a crisp $100 bill When she told me the total, my momma sat there and gave me a FUCKING lesson on tax. Then she paid the difference…😩 I’ve been mind mathing while shopping ever since!!

At 10? 😩🤣 I’ve had peace of mind for the longest cuz I thought I had full coverage car insurance. Today, at my big age, I learned that I should probably get gap insurance and pick up the phone call of those ppl trying to sell me car warranty cuz some things my FULL COVERAGE might not pay for! WHAT?

I knew how to balance a checkbook by 12. I was using the ATM and shopping with a debit card by then too. I could cook dinner for a family of 7… Even now, I get the “but you’re the responsible one!” comment… You made me that way… I didn’t have a choice

Wait…they put you on game. As unfair as it is cuz you were 12, they must have known it would come in handy. I was spoiled but I was never taught any of this shit 😩😭🤣

My parents wanted to make sure EYE was straight… Then they wonder why everyone else had issues as adults 🥴
