This post may contain affiliate links

My parents have always shared all things financial with me and my brother. We always knew, and still know, how much money they had or didn’t have at any given time.

It seemed mundane then, but now I’m reaping the benefits of that education.

Financial Backstory

My dad was a pilot for many companies most notably National Airlines, Pan Am, and United. My mom was a flight attendant for National and Pan Am. She retired after eight years and became a stay-at-home mom when I was born.

You would think that my parents had more than enough money being that my dad had a pretty good job. But….his career was plagued with strikes, furloughs, and company bankruptcies. Seniority numbers ruled his career. Circumstances and sometimes fate would just strike a blow that he had no control over.

When I was eight, Pan Am went bankrupt. Boom! My dad didn’t have a job at 49 years old. Poof went his seniority and pensions. He was a diehard pilot and was scrambling for any kind of work he could get. For a few months, he constructed shelves in a warehouse. He got just 7$ an hour but he did it anyway.

With soaring housing prices, real estate being picked up by rich foreigners, availability is slim and space is at a premium! You wouldn’t believe the typical size of the apartments in Paris. My research shows studio-size condos range from 150-300 sq ft. With such small living spaces, French people have to be very selective about what they bring into their pied a terre. Living a French lifestyle necessitates lots of thought about what you need and what you can do without.

Over time, you will naturally gain a mental shift and a more discerning eye. All the money you will save will create a sense of security and accomplishment.
