This episode with James Collins is really good.

I have an interesting (at least to me) history with money. I grew up in rural Appalachia, but by the time I came along my parents had managed to claw their way out of severe poverty to where they were quite well off. They really tried to instill a sense of frugality and how important it is to save and invest wisely, but at the same time they were also trying to give my siblings and I a much better life experience than they had when they were kids. Consequently I had a really terrible work ethic for years.

It wasn’t until I got out of college and started working for a non-profit (which I’m still at) that I really understood how important controlling one’s monetary destiny was. Hence my current status as trash elf in training.
