I’m just glad I grew up poor. It seems to have led me to making smart choices later in life.

Do I want to drive the 20 year old beater pickup truck or forego the house payment and buy a shiny new truck?

Today I have the 25 year old beater pickup truck sitting in front of my paid off home.

Amen - and it led me to make smart choices throughout my life.
And not just financial - there's a whole lot of truth to the axiom, "Everything tastes good when you're hungry."
