You could say anything, but what's true is that it's not frugality. Where do you get that?
It's a traumatic experience with lifelong consequences. I know that from many people who have experienced it.
- nickd2001 4y agoIs it possibly both? ;). I mean, a good education in frugality at the same time as being traumatic? And as an adult you have both strengths and weaknesses as result of this? You have excellent frugal habits that help you live happily on less, but also may be risk averse to the detriment of your career, and lacking in confidence at times. That's certainly my wife's experience.
