I don’t live paycheck to paycheck by any means, but have always made sacrifices and have a hard time not being worried about running out of money. Guess that’s part of growing up extremely poor is you’re always worried about the what if. Does something physical to your brain. I am in survival mode greater than 90% of the time
Same. When you grow up poor you never forget it. To this day I still cut coupons. I certainly don't NEED to but it's like a game now. I'm no extreme couponing level but it's still free money and I love seeing that grocery bill shrink at the end.
I'm literally making banana bread right now because I can't stand to throw out bananas that are going bad, lol
My bestie teases me for the coupon thing. Once I texted her, "I just saved $52 in coupons!" She texted back, "And then you got into your Porsche and drove away?"
