>>43224387No, my grandpa was quite literally rich. He had his own company which provided electrical generators for several big events, be it sports, concerts, you name it, and since it was one of the few companies dedicated to that in my province he had very high demand. My mother worked for him so she had direct income. The rollercoaster thing is because I live in a very economically unstable country, and if the country is doing bad that means we also did, because no one would host anything that needed our service. I could go from only having those little ketchup packages to eat, to having maids, butlers, go to an elite school, live in a nautical gated community where I sailed in yachts every weekend, only to then go back to eating a sausage every three days and having to move to a small house in a humbler town. Over and over, it was a cycle.
And then business recovered for good, plus my grandpa sold some lands he had abroad and split the money, and it was as if those "dark years" hadn't even existed. The difference being that nowadays since he's passed and I have a happy, stable life, I choose to save all that for the future, just in case, since I don't want to go back again.. specially because my country is going down the shitter once more
gracias peronchos corruptos. But yeah I still live a middle-upper life and have several things your average person only dreams of, but since I was on the other end I don't take it for granted. I could go back to the whole "hiring a Peruvian couple to do all my meals and letting them sleep in a small room in the back" but even my grandpa became quite frugal in his last years, so I prefer to do things myself nowadays instead of having to pay someone.
Hope you enjoyed my blogpost.
