in my youth, my parents did not have much income, and could have been considered relatively ‘low-income’, or low-middle income at most . as a result, there wasn’t much money that could go around for the 4 children in our family. i learned early on that i should attempt to minimize money-related requests, and instead, find frugal alternatives on my own to have certain needs met.
some of these methods i still use, while others have fallen away by the way side due to diminished time as an adult now, and/or being blessed with a decent income. however, i’d like to visit some of the approaches i took to see if i couldn’t still use them now, if i no longer do.
