That's why I never ask for help, I'll do it for NT and do it for myself.

Probably the Recession in like 08 or so, seeing how my family was being extremely frugal. Didn't really affect us (unless that's the reason for the divorce) because my old man never missed a day of work and my mom still had stable work at her same office. Everybody was out of work and my father kept running work while spending VERY LITTLE of what he made yet insuring we had food, clothes, and a home.
He explained to me times were going to be rough for the next coming years. Said we were going to cut down on spending money on things that weren't necessities. Eat at home, not buy nice clothes, etc. It frightened me because he was preparing to get laid off and go months without work. Thanks to his hard work and dedication he was able to keep working throughout the recession while being frugal and taking care of his family.
He kept that mindset throughout all of it until it was really in the clear then he started taking us out more and such.
Looking back at it, he taught me that hard work is the most important thing there is. He taught me to always save for a rainy day, and be grateful for what you have. Most importantly, he taught me what being a man is all about, taking care of your family and knowing that you're responsible for them. Love my old man

When things in life aren't going your way, you can do nothing or continue to do your best until that breakthrough comes your way.

Clicked the thumbs up.
Taking matters into your own hands.
Not following the beaten path.
EDIT: Parents gave gifts early in life you can't buy in the mall.....didn't realize their scarcity or value until recently.
EDIT2/3: Reading to acquire knowledge is becoming a lost practice.
People don't care about details.

That one is huge for me...
Along those lines i would say the biggest check i have had was the moment when i realised the work never stops.
There's always going to be some **** that you need to do or fix.

You never know what you have, until it's gone.
Not talking about material things, or ex girlfriends...Mainly family
Life is short, and you're never promised tomorrow. You have to appreciate everything to the fullest extent and beyond.
