Doesn’t mean you didn’t have stuff you didn’t need. 90% of everything I’ve ever owned in my life, including growing up fairly poor, I didn’t NEED. Toys, books, gadgets, movies. Really if it doesn’t go in the dresser, fridge, or pantry we probably don’t need it, but there it is, we own it.
I tore pictures of toys out of the Sears catalogue and stuck them on a mirror with spit to play with them.
I did spend an inordinate amount of time across the street playing on a neighbors trampoline and porch.
