[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 705039, member: 3893"] There's a benefit from growing up poor. Even after she elevated from poor to middle class, my Mom never lost her sense of frugality and saving. And she had compassion for those less fortunate. She used to take old clothes to the flea market in the run down part of town and sell them for a quarter. She said she would be glad to give them away, but that if people paid something for them, even if it was just a quarter, they would have pride that they were providing for their families by their own work and not just taking a handout.
