    Third one with a similar story here. My parents each immigrated to the U.S. when they were young, and they met here.

    They had me when they were I believe 18 and 19, and they didn’t exactly live a life of luxury.

    Looking back, I realized this, but I also realized that even before my parents got good-paying jobs and before we were able to move to a nicer apartment and be able to afford more commodities and luxuries, I never felt like I lacked anything in terms of material possessions or needs.

    While I think they, especially my dad, could’ve done a better job emotionally/psychologically, I’ll give them that they always did their absolute best to make sure my brother and I had everything we needed, or even wanted.
