I remember my parents driving us, all of us kids, in the back of a van and we were going somewhere and they stopped at a bank and they needed to get a money order.
and they walked out of the bank.
They left us in the back and they walked into the bank and came back out about five minutes later, laughing.
And we see them laughing across the parking lot.
And when they get in the car, we go, why are you laughing?
And they go, they told us that they would waive the fees only if we had $10,000 in our account.
And they were just laughing because it was impossible.
It was not a figment of our family's reality that we would just have $10,000 lying around
to get a fee wave.
And I kind of look back on that and I smile because there's so many lessons just in that tiny example of them walking towards the van in the parking lot laughing.
First of all, we didn't have that kind of money.
And that actually forced us to learn frugality growing up.
So I was raised by my two immigrant Indian parents.
And although my reputation these days is Mr. Anti-frugality,
I grew up, it's deep in my bones, okay?
I grew up with frugality every day of my life.
The other thing is my parents had a sense of humor about it.
They just laughed.
What, are they going to get angry?
Is that going to change it?
