"If you think working for yourself is a good thing. Do it that way. Our parents didn't get the opportunity they wanted and made sacrifices for us to have a better life. I owe my parents better life, that is the mentality I won't change."

@ChrisExcel102 added:

"We afford differently! Whether it's a house or a car our parents deserve all that's coming their way from us! When they gave us our names it was their first prophecy of our lives and when it manifests we shall pour it back to them as blessings upon them, it is not a burden."
