[quote=Anonymous]Yes. We were never poor-poor (no food insecurity or worries about homelessness). But we went through a lot of paycheck-to-paycheck periods when I was young. Something from a vending machine was a once-a-summer treat, and we almost never went out to eat "just because." Also, no impulse purchases EVER. I knew better than to even ask, because the answer was always "no." Things I spend money on now, like actual Ziploc bags in a variety of sizes, the ones with characters on them, no less? I can feel my mother's disappointment with younger-me even wanting those things. Older me has four kids and spends money on things that make my life easier or that I think they'd get a kick out of -- neither of those would have been reasons for purchase when I was a child.[/quote]
