My earliest memory about money is from my preteen and adolescent years related to a time when I began to form relationships with my peers and wanting to dress like them as well as go places with them such as the movies or rollerskating. For my parents money was better spent on the home and education which was not the way I saw it at the time.
My father made it a point to instill in me as the eldest the importance of not only saving money for a rainy day, but the importance of having my own and not depending on someone else to provide for me.
As a leader this means that there should always be money in the bank so that when we want to accomplish certain goals we can do it without looking for loans, sponsors, or others who may want to have a says in what we are trying to accomplish
