The Grapes of Wrath

Key takeaways:

- I often remind myself how fortunate I am to be alive at this time in history. I've never been more grateful than I am as I finish this book. I can't imagine watching my family starve to death, knowing that no matter what I do, I can't fix it. It's heartbreaking knowing that there are many people in this position around the globe even now.
- This book wasn't intended to teach any financial lessons, but it was a good reminder to be cautious with money, even in the good times. It is easy to forget that hard times will likely come again.
- Be kind. You don't know what others are going through. In most cases, if you are better off than someone, luck played a big role in your circumstances.
