* gifts

I went through most of my life without having to account for my money
|
||||||
* credit card during high-school/CPGE
|
explicitly, making use of the "dad bank". I received small sums of money at
|
||||||
* joining the YAKA-ACU team
|
Christmas and for birthdays, most of which went straight to an envelop that my
|
||||||
|
dad kept for me. This is the money that I used to buy myself books, games, and
|
||||||
|
other small things during childhood. My father kept track of the money and told
|
||||||
|
me how much I had left whenever I asked him.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During high school, my parents opened a bank account for me, and handed me
|
||||||
|
a credit card to allow me to buy lunch, make gifts, and other discretionary
|
||||||
|
spendings without having to explicitly go through them. It was regularly checked
|
||||||
|
on by my parents to make sure I always had some amounts of money to my name in
|
||||||
|
case I needed it, which they did up and until my engineering school. At this
|
||||||
|
point I had a pretty good idea of how much I could spend and when I could spend
|
||||||
|
it. This information could fit entirely in my head without any problems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once I had spent a year at EPITA, I decided to apply to the team of teaching
|
||||||
|
assistants. Between the money that I earned during my internship and what I
|
||||||
|
was earning as an assistant, I was finally gaining some financial independence.
|
||||||
|
Until very recently I was still mostly keeping track of my spending in my head,
|
||||||
|
my student job allowing me to avoid explicitly budgeting my money.
