All my life I've learned to do with less than others. Partly because I came from a lower-middle-class family with a hard-working-drinking dad, stay-at-home mom and several kids. Partly due to the fact that I always had to share or learn to divvy things in half with my twin sister. Throw in other factors, such as moving lots so Dad could keep a decent job; later joining a full-time, non-profit group; later marrying a guy who did carpentry and then having a few children to provide for.
