Without going into too much details..I was happy growing up, ive learnt by looking at how others behave with their money, it doesnt buy you friends,love and happiness. But mostly I thank my parents the way they taught me how to value people and friendship without showering them with money and gifts.

I was born into a poor family. By poor, I mean some weeks it was will we eat or have electricity??
What I have learned from growing up like this is that I seem to appreciate things that I have had to work for, as opposed to friends who were handed big ticket items ( car) ona plate - already paid for, insured etc.
i am very independent because of it and very generous too. I donate whatever i am finished wit to charity wether it be valuable or not - so those less fortunate can have something they couldn't afford to buy new.
I'm also not materialistic. To me, things are just things. I don't need to keep up with the Jonses in anyway.

I was born into a poor family but grew up watching my mum and dad working their bums off having 3 jobs and yet still raising 2 young children, providing for us, even taking us on holidays around the world, never once leaving us with babysitters and then watching my mum and dad retire at 45 years old because they had worked so hard and become rich.
My daddy is my rock and role model and i've learnt that money needs to be respected. I have a bit of a Freudian thing going on with the similarities of my husband and my dad. Hmmm....

Born into a middle class family that turned poor when my mom became a single mom of 4 then moved up the "ranks" to lowwer-middle class.
Learned to be tough and to not really count on anyone.
I think that sometimes when you grow up not having much money around,when you are on your own perhaps many time s we can sabatoge ourselves into thinking we don't deserve an easy life ect.
My husband grew up really poor after the communists moved into his country after WW11.I am talking about 5 people living in a studio apt.and putting cardboard in your shoes because they have holes in the bottom.
Anyways, in America he had many oppertunities to make real money but somehow he always blew it,like what you learn as a kid stays with you.I may be wrong.

i think of that no count what form of family members, prosperous or undesirable, someone is born into the main needed element is LOVE. a toddler does not understand prosperous or undesirable he/she in basic terms is conscious how plenty love his mothers and fathers supply him/her. there's a word and that i like it is going, "To a toddler love is spelled T.I.M.E. i think that the only element that a toddler needs is to be enjoyed and for somebody to pay interest on him/her. apart from something materialistic products that a toddler could choose or have in existence i think that in case you have been to ask him/her they'd plenty greater choose some time than yet another toy. Plus, you do not choose to overly break them the two. --Daisy

My mum and dad divorced when I was 8yrs old, but they both worked hard to give us what they could. My dad worked in a thankless job making pennies, and my mum worked night shift at tesco's so that she could study at university.

We didn't have many foreign holidays growing up (3 that I can remember). And our clothes weren't always the latest , but we always knew that we were loved.

I grew up in a lower middle class family. We had enough money to eat and dress properly, but we were poor enough to be self-sufficient. I learned that you can't solve problems by throwing money at them - you've got to work them out for yourself.

Poor family. It's given me courage, strength and an open mind. My parents taught me how to survive without losing my humanity.

Mine was middle class so we had enough to live comfortably but without the luxuries. I learnt to be frugal, to work hard, that nothing comes unless you earn it and to save up for what I wanted. I also learnt that possessions are not important and that you can't take them with you when you die.
