My parents weren't totally adults during the depression...they were in their teens...but they were savers and did without stuff until they could afford it. I think my mindset is a lot like theirs since I hate throwing things away, wasting things, and try to live below our means. The depression made a big impact on my parents who in turn, made one on me.
