“money doesn’t grow on trees!”

the phrase money doesn’t grow on trees was a big and know phrase for me, in my childhood my parents would always tell me that. through put my child hood I got things I may of wanted, I can’t say I was spoiled either. when I was little I loved toys, I mean what little kid didn’t. when I went shopping with my parents to bJs or to Walmart, target I always saw things I may have wanted. two things I always would see and want would be, cars or lego sets. it would be every time I went out with them that something caught my eyes. every time I would bring it to them the first thing they would ask, how much is it? I would tell them the price and they would say, “eso esta may caro hijo, coje otra cosita”. (that’s to expensive son, get something else.) the moment I heard that I would get mad, I would start crying and saying things, start thinking im not loved, basically throw a tantrum in the store. as I did that my parents would also get frustrated in my reaction. So they would say, money doesn’t grow on trees! I never understood it because I would always see my parents shopping and in me I would say they can’t get me a toy. This happened many times im not going to lie. As I got to the age I am and worked for the thing I wanted or want I realized it not easy and money isn’t easy to have, its a responsibility. Now I think about somethings I wanted and I would think to myself, why did I want that, its such a was of money.

Another time that phrase also would be in my life, was when we went to get a new car. As a little kid I loved BMW’s, I found them the best looking cars and always dreamed to have a convertible BMW, and still do. But when I was little I thought every car cost the same. So my parents were planning on getting a Honda and I would always say get a BMW, Hondas suck don’t get it. I would say this on our way to the dealership and once we got to the honda dealership I would get mad. I would say, why do u want these ugly cars they are so ugly compared to BMW. How can u not want one. As I said that my dad would look at me and say, son muy caros si tendria la plata me compraria un BMW.  I wouldn’t understand the fact every car brand was less or more expensive. So I would say yes u do but your wasting it on this junk, and just start arguing with my parents about it. They would always answer one of two things ojala que en tu vida the puedes comprar todos los lujos que te das or ya te quiero ver cuando estas grande which is hopefully in the future you can complete your wishes u have or I wanna see you when your older. Then I would just complain and be saying, watch ima be driving a BMW when im older. That’s when they would hit me money doesn’t grow on trees.  they were right im over here driving a honda today because money doesn’t grow on trees, but its still a goal for me to own a BMW when im older.
