  • Not as an owner myself, but growing up my parents were small business owners. It wasn’t so bad in elementary school because I went to a private school but once I started public school people were absolutely convinced that we must be rolling in money because our last name was on a building. I can promise you over and over again that that was not even close to the case. My mom lived in a constant state of anxiety that at any minute we could lose everything.

    I got all kinds of s***. I think the craziest was this guy in high school who was adamant that I couldn’t be into punk rock music or the scene because we were probably just way too wealthy and upper class. So I found it quite humorous when junior year his mom bought a house just a couple doors down from us. When he became my neighbor was about when he shut up.
