Re: Did you grow up in a frugal family?
My mother grew up in a house with no running water or electricity also, but that was 90 years ago. I was shocked to meet someone who lived like that back in the sixities. One thing I have learned about the area I live in, it is so rural that they did not even get telephones until the mid 50's.
My husband's parents were very frugal, buying a fixer up house and only having one vehicle for 15 years at a time. However, he (fil) was able to retire at age 45.
