I imagine your upbringing made you appreciate what you do have. My parents both grew up in the Depression and we didn't waste things at our house because they always lived in fear of another Depression. My coworkers make fun of me because I believe in reusing things and try not to waste things. My husband, on the other hand, was raised with frugal parents as well so he understands. I feel it has made me appreciate what I have and I'm not so tempted to buy something because I want it, not because I need it.
