The 5 stupidest habits you develop growing up poor. ›

misskayleigh:

This just sums me up. I’m pretty sure Jas would agree most of these points are me to a t. We aren’t exactly poor these days what with 4 people working/chipping in to pay bills, but when we were younger we didn’t have much money and I guess these things stick. Kinda funny!!

I’d say at least half of these apply to me. Great read.
