[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 14403, member: 393"] I remember having to use my older sister's school clothes - for years I never had new clothes. McDonald's was a treat for our family. My siblings & I had to amuse ourselves as movies, fairs & such were out of reach for my parents. We did a lot of riding bikes, putting together games of Manhunt with neighborhood friends, reading, etc. I had to earn the money for my first car & was responsible for all the maintenance & insurance. If I wanted college I had to pay my own way...no way could my parents put 5 children through college. All in all, I learned a work ethic. The biggest luxury was taking a train ride with dad down to Chicago when he had to see his eye specialist. Each of us got to take that trip at least once. [/QUOTE]
