The day you became financially independent

Riz (India)

Started at 16 as a tutor, I earned my first 100 Rupee. I tutored two young kids at their home. Later I discovered that I could teach, so I took up that venture and found more students. I stopped taking cash from my parents because they could not afford to buy me the clothes I liked. That's how I became a teacher. I had a keen interest to learn English, so I started working on English.
