As I get older and older and older, I think back to the things of my youth that have affected me forever.

I was just a young girl when Jimmy Carter was elected president. The absolute failure of his policies caused me to come of age politically. I watched as Reagan brought the country back from despair and it caused me to be even more a conservative. My mom was very conservative, but I suspect had Carter been successful, it would have influenced me to be more liberal-leaning.

I have seen old people be very conservative with their money, mainly due to their experiences of the depression.

Have any experiences in your youth affected how you think today?
