All tangible objects have a monetary value. One way to acquire one of these tangible objects is to purchase it. In order to purchase it, you must have funds, and in order to have funds you must have some means of income, most commonly a job.

Earning my own money helps me realize how rewarding hard work is, but it also makes me much more wary about spending it. When I do spend it, I am more careful and cautious about what I buy and make sure

When my father lost his job, our family lost many of the comforts that we once took for granted due to a reduced income. Money became a very large issue and with it came many limitations on wants and desires that were so accessible before my father lost his job. Furthermore, the loss of his job brought about immense shame for my father. Yet, rather than become embarrassed over my father losing his job and sad due to the fact that I could no longer have as many material possessions, I came to accept the different lifestyle.
