I am also realizing that I will never be as well-off as my parents are now, but - I am probably going to get close to how they were when I was young, and that's pretty awesome. I don't think I WANT to have as much money as they do now... they seem to constantly feel the need to go bigger and better and spend more lavishly and just... no. I like that I do still feel the need to practice the relatively frugality they taught me when I was young, and hope I never lose that.

It's a tough moment of realisation. Also, I have a bath every time I visit my parents, even if it's in the middle of the day, just for the luxury (and cause I only have a shower cubicle at home..) @TheclaAndTheSeals Yes, this!

My parents would even leave bacon and pancakes for us if they were going to be out when we got home! So yeah, parents can be pretty awesome and why did I hate them growing up?!
