Frank traces his spending habits to childhood trauma after his mother's death. He spent money as a coping mechanism on bad days and was never taught the value of money. Now he's working with Mermet to regain control of his finances.
Unfortunately, I was never taught the true value of money. And as an adult, I'm kind of paying for it now. Growing up, I was given money to kind of appease the fact that my mom had died. And that always helped. But look at me now. When I'm having a bad day, I want to go to the mall and ball. But looking back on it, it's very traumatic. I lost everything. It goes back into me kind of feeling abandoned. I feel like I can't ask people for help, but I'm hoping with Mermet, I'm going to get on the right track.
