It's not about finances. I also grew up relatively poor (we had food, but couldn't afford e.g. school books) and am currently pretty well off (saving more than half of my salary while enjoying a decent quality of life). Such an upbringing leaves a mark. The other day I was thinking how it's been going too well for too long and I probably have, I don't know, ball cancer which is going to bring my situation to a more familiar level of misery. I've lived my life having a plan B, C and often also D for every situation. When you're not used to the good stuff, you become suspicious to the good stuff once it comes along.
