This whole content is so relatable, those who understand their parent's capability in their childhood and postpone their desires without any chaos are sure to better understand the ways of life, I think this is a great maturity. Just like you, I have completed one of my desires I couldn't fulfill, well to be honest I would say I was enough lucky to have my personal computer in class six, but then my interest grew in higher gaming rigs but those were a dream that came true now through myself.
You sold coins or whatever, I would say you made your mom happy and that's incomparable to any assets in the whole world. Why are we chasing after money? Obviously to keep ourselves happy, right? When it comes to my family's happiness I also perform anything to make them happy because in the end they are the reason we are surviving, matters the most.
It was a good read.
Have a great day.
