So what happened was I came along, and then a couple years later, I had two smaller brothers.

my dad he always wanted more i'm sorry how old were your parents when you were born my parents was like 20 23 24 when i was born okay mind you like my dad got a job for the city but basically it was a government job so that was a great job to have back in the day because he knew he had some type of security and then my mom worked at a bank until an accident happened at a bank where someone threw some keys across the bank and hit her in the head

So from there, she went out on leave for about four months and she was having like blackouts and things of that nature. So she ended up having to retire early with the settlement. I think it could have been like about 15 or 20K, but we're talking about 1982. About 15, 20K is a bunch of money. And this is when they bought their house. They bought a house. So I never lived in an apartment before.

We always lived in a house. We always had money. I mean, not rich, but we had money, middle class. But the thing about that is... She didn't work no more, so she became an entrepreneur right then and there. She opened a child care center. She opened up a janitorial service. My dad still made more money, I want to say, but we made it all the way through.

But we went to public school with the rest of the kids that didn't have a lot. Right. The kids at my school were on fixed incomes, single parent homes, just a mom, welfare or food stamps. And I didn't even understand why. My major question was like, why are these kids disadvantaged and we're not? One of my friends at school told me that they didn't have any food at their house.

And that bothered me. I was like, what do you mean you don't have any food at your house? But I kind of overlooked it, thought he was joking because when he came over our house, he got to make food. Ate good, even took some food home with him. But after a couple of times, I thought this kid is telling the truth. He doesn't have any food.

But a light bulb went off in my head, too, when I went to school and I couldn't get free lunch. My lunch was $1.25, but all my friends got free lunch. So I ran home that day like, mom, why do I have to pay $1.25 for the same food that they get for free? And she said, well, we both have income. Their parents don't. They live in a project. Their rent is about $40 a month.

If they even have both parents. If they even have both parents, yeah. So are we we have a mortgage here and it's a difference between rent and mortgage now, but I don't like it I want to eat with them because they're looking at me some kind of way because I pay for lunch But she's like look get over it. You know what I mean?
