Because of the housing crisis in my country that was a consequence of the 2008 crisis, my single parent household had no income and we barely didn't lose our home.
My siblings and I barely had food to eat and water to have a shower. We wore hand-me-downs for years to recover. Those memories have been etched in my brain to the point that it is almost impossible for me to give up habits picked from that time and change my mindset. Even though I am doing relatively okay now w/ an engineer's salary, I can't give up the bad habits formed from then.
