I grew up in a poor Soviet family and for me in the Soviet period, poverty was synonymous with integrity, and in the subsequent 90 - and even decency.

I see nothing wrong in the fact that it was in my life.

From childhood and subsequent adolescence firmly learned is this: to get something (money, for example) need to give something back (time, talent, soul, in general that is).

Because of this, I have a decent job, and even to the middle class far yet, but support his family well, my husband is quite capable.

Stage habits described in the article, we have been in the family (and my and my parents) to the fullest. However, this is what came out of it

1. cheap food

Yes, there was a time when I was calculated to the penny salary. For me, there are still these criteria: price and expiration date. I'll get fresh vegetables, but the season is not an exorbitant price. Not frozen meat much tastier frozen and then teach anyone to anything not necessary. Relative to other meat products, cheese and other snacks too. From there, habit - not to buy cheap products, because many of them default inedible. Products we buy really once a week, I do not see anything wrong with that, but I see the time savings. In the modern refrigerator vegetables and meat it is stored week.

According sausage, by the way, do not miss quite a day. Just moved to a better, someone in fact and like sausage.

2. "Spare money"

There was a period, but it quickly passed. Indeed once childish wish of all these chocolates, cakes, just nice things, but they were filled quickly and the money began to be. But deny themselves all over in this period did not see the point. If you are properly educated - it will not last long.

3. Gifts

What is wrong is to give for the holidays something big and necessary? I do not see the disaster here. Neither my childhood I did not whined and did not require myself certainly something, because they understand what needs to have all members of the family, nor my children. However, I firmly and they know that if they do something really needs (education, travel, the organization of holidays on drugs) or are very straight like (that's straight on the real, so that at night dreaming) - Money there. Yes, indeed, the children in the family a priority, and to buy some things for myself, I'll be a residual, it will stay with me forever, but then again I do not see the problem. Because, as known multpersonazh "After you, my mother, a father, and you, my father, a mother ..." We support each other in a reasonable expenditure and no one will feel remorse. And a huge thanks to my mother, who regularly (remembering how to grow us) reminds me of the need to deal with them. But spending is always reasonable and do not put the family in shy position.

4. accounting

That's really here do not see anything wrong. Yes, always I remember how much money I have, otherwise how to plan spending? But I do know how many there are - my, I do not have anyone, and is not obliged to, I'll earn them and discuss the directions of their spending in the family on an equal footing. The amount of which is planned to be a waste, I've always kept going and never gets into trouble and their children are not accustom to it.
5. Here you are also not quite right. It is the "poor" have experienced great beauty sales, second hand, which is not for the cheap, but for the exclusive, like telling me a wonderful teacher (also not of the rich), and others. Bought a new thing if suddenly wears old. But there is too much in the locker room, he figured out a more rational and sales opportunities are used wisely.

Briefly summarizing, who's poor - I do not know. Experience one sausage for two, cut dinner along, because as it seems to be more - it's out of my life. Experience of fried potatoes, which in itself, without corned beef and other meat, is a stand alone dish - too. But the poor themselves, I do not believe and did not believe ever.

Only to earn money and spend wisely, and on poverty not worth the nod from this no one is safe.

One time I even haunted by the fear that paralyzed and did not give anything to buy, "What if I get used to it, and then not be able to either myself or the children of this secure?"

A favorite saying ever since: I have or do not have money or do not have time to spend it)))

By the way, a few months ago there was an article with a similar theme, but it is much more sensible. Here are some places I myself learned in those habits.
