My girlfriend was raised by wealthy, business-owning parents. There was a divide between us as I rejected generosity and clawed after scraps of her food. Managing a relationship with someone who grew up differently requires constant compassion and open communication.
I grew up with a single mom who came from nothing. My frugal customs were ingrained from childhood. Despite making a comfortable living now, my scarcity mindset remains a part of me.
