Re: Did you grow up in a frugal family?
Mostly yes, but I never wanted for neccesities....
The big-ticket things, I never had...used to go over to my friend's house to play on the Nintendo...etc....
My dad ran his own real-estate business, so most of the cash went towards that. But he made enough to pay support, buy a car for me as my first, and send me to school His half....
Mom always had a big thing about appearances, but I never cared as much...I'd gladly go to school in clothes with holes because I honestly didn't care..Still don't! (But I dress to impress the families I work with....)
We usually ate in, eating out only for special occasions or if we were out shopping for things at the mall 1/2 hour north.
