WE were kind of the same when younger. Our dad was supporting 4 kids and our mom on his rather small salary so we didn't get a lot of the things we wanted. As a result, we got teased a lot at school. I would say I did have less but I really appreciate it now because I see spoiled children and get really annoyed. My mom does still complain about our spending, but it's because a fortune teller once told her that she'd die poor so she's obsessed with this idea. In truth, richness isn't measured by material wealth alone. Guess she's not so grateful for 4 kids since we aren't married and having grandkids for her.
