Very often, the habits that we pick up in our childhood stay with us throughout our lives. This may apply to many things, like how we use our money, handle our relationships, or even manage our houses. It might even serve us well to hang on to some habits like that.
In this particular list, folks are opening up about all the “poor people” practices they won’t quit, no matter how much money they make. Some of these ideas make a lot of sense because they help people live within their means and be content with what they have.

I grew up with no money and now even though I have enough, I still really love eating my povvo meals - instant ramen with an egg, vegemite toast with cheese. Though that might just be childhood nostalgia.
