Interested in all the ways the lack of money shapes us, Reddit user CursedButHere made a post on the platform’s forum ‘Random Thoughts,’ asking everyone to describe the peculiar things they do because they grew up poor.
“I’m not talking about the usual things that everyone has heard of, like hoarding food or saving almost empty shampoo bottles,” they wrote. “I’m talking about the weird things nobody thinks about.”
To kickstart the discussion, the Redditor provided a personal example. “Mine is that even though I have a really good car that has never given me trouble, I only frequent the stores closest to me. I want to make sure if my car breaks down that I can easily walk home. If I have to go somewhere further like I do this week, then I am paranoid the whole way there and back that something will happen and I’ll have a really, really long walk ahead of me.” Below are the most upvoted replies that they’ve received.
