I asked for a horse when I was about 13. I had been riding for over a decade at that point, and leased(yes, this is a thing) several horses.

My parents laughed in my face.

I procured all their financial information, made a giant spreadsheet of every single associated cost of ownership(from boarding, healthcare, contingency for emergency healthcare, to every single piece of equipment that would be necessary to buy) and compared it to what we were currently paying for riding lessons and the partial lease on the horse I rode most days out of the week, then I wrote a giant persuasive essay arguing my case and citing things like enrichment of character, sense of responsibility, and providing incentives such as working out a deal with the stable owner wherein I'd get a discount on board if I mucked stalls. Then I gave my parents a presentation on why it was not a giant financial leap nor totally unreasonable for me to suggest simply buying a horse.


So yeah, that's how I got a horse.

Now I work in data analysis/strategy, which was something I never thought I'd end up doing....but looking back, I'm not all that surprised now.




I was looking at memes and I stumbled upon this one.

This by chance wouldn't happen to be you as a kid would it?

I feel like growing up with a lot of money helps you realize money truly has no value and shouldn't be desired.

Agreed, even at my age and growing up with a father who made millions I know this is garbage.
