Describe a time that you had to tighten your belt due to any sort of financial hardship.

My childhood was not full of luxuries like many kids have nowadays, for instance, cellphones, tablets and video games.
instead, I had quite a few toys to play with, and that, kind of taught me how to manage my finances in some way. Even though
I consider myself an extremely organized person, when it comes to money, I had to tighten my belt for a couple of months having wanted to start my degree. That happened because my salary was not enough to pay my bills in arrears, pay for my driver's license and afford
a degree in engineering. I was running up a lot of debts at such a young age, so I had to put paid to this situation and cut down on some expenses.
