A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video where two speakers (interviewer and interviewee) discuss childhood experiences around money. The interviewee recalls working at Burger King, saving money (e.g., putting aside $100) to avoid asking his mother for cash, and feeling that money controlled the household rather than them controlling money.

Man.
I think across America there's a subset of kids that hated asking their mother for money. When did you start to realize and start to think money is important?
I would say just seeing how the relationship my mom had with money. Like the money was. The money controlled us and we didn't control it. So for me, I would work. I worked at Burger King in my spare time flipping burgers and I would, like, save money on the side just for. If I wanted to do something so I can stop asking my mom for.
Money and start getting your own.
Yeah. So I was like, okay, let me just put $100 to the side if I want to go and get something to eat so I don't have to stress my mom out, man.
I think across America there's a subset of kids that hated asking their mother for money.
Right.
And the only reason is because we knew the answer was going to be no.
Exactly. Exactly.
