[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if we were poor or if my parents were just really frugal. I spent part of my childhood overseas. We lived in company housing and I went to a fancy private school (payed for by my dad's company). We always had food to eat but I always felt like the poor kid at my school. Never ever had new clothes - always hand me downs or home made. Never had more than two pairs of shoes - shoes for school and flip flops for home. I remember once in 4th or 5th grade when I wore a whole through the toe of one of my shoes and my mom refused to buy me a new pair. I was so embarrassed by it. We never had toys. My dad would bring home scrap photo copy paper from his office and we would draw a lot. I also remember making toy binoculars and toy cameras out of toilet paper rolls and tissue boxes. I guess not having much made us pretty creative.[/quote]
