Yes, but it was how their mind worked. Dad was a child of the
Depression when it was a "buy only what could be afforded at the time" mind set.

I think what Daddy took from the Depression was to save to get
something that would be worth it in the long run... Mommy just learned
to make do... ;)

I came along after that -- but both of my parents lived through it (and
were married in 1933 before it was really over). In addition to the frugalness, I think that they had an ingrained adversion to debt.

Gail and I came out of our first years of marriage living with low
budgets and learned a fair amount of frugal behavior that still sticks
with us today to some degree.

Daddy was born 1921, Mommy 1929.... They grew up frugal, and careful with debt.... I grew up in a family that didn't have much, but it was just a
way of life, and I never felt the pinch, really...

Gail and I came out of our first years of marriage living with low
budgets and learned a fair amount of frugal behavior that still sticks with us today to some degree.

Richard and I started out with very little, and when things eased up
some, never got into a real spending habit... Frugality becomes second nature... and then one has something to fall back on when hard times
come again, or to lend/give to someone less fortunate... :)
