brown bag vs. school lunches

[Guest]

I agree! In HS I had a car (paid for by my parents), but I wasn’t

allowed to work during the school year (I could babysit occasionally).

I had to pay for all the maintenance myself – go figure. The only

money I had was my lunch money and I was only making $2/hr. keeping 3

kids on the weekends. I had to make a $300 repair on my car so I

stopped eating lunch and packing something after my parents went to

work. I saved up $150 and then asked them to pay for the rest b/c I

couldn’t keep not eating.

Never did understand my parents!
