Interesting. I grew up in an (upper-)middleclass household, but feel much the same. I always got enough allowance from my parents, we had nice holidays and nice christmas presents. I got through university and into my first job without ever having real money issues. However, I hate to spend money (and I hated to ask my parents for it - even though they would have had no problems giving it to me). I am the kind of guy how books the cheapest hotel in town, avoids a museum if the entrance fee seems unreasonable and drives the cheapest bike (per km) on the market, even though it is my main mean of transportation. Am I just a cheap person? Maybe. But I give reasonable amounts of money for charity every month, and I guess I am not cheap when buying presents. It's just this inner feeling that "cost efficiency" is the holy grail in life. Never ever will I order the expensive steak, no matter the class of the restaurant. On the other hand, you hear all these stories of lower-class lottery winners, that are unable to keep a fortune at least for a decade or two - so I guess thats an aspect of personality deep-wired within us...
