I was very   37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents   38 interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it   39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the   40 , I would become more mature(成熟) and  41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

Like many   42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they  43  a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around   44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great   45 for me. In the end, my father won the   46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins   47 through the country who could   48 shelter and help if I need them.
