growing up poor helped me appreciate the simpler things in life . i was enthusiastic and content with the littlest things , like trips to mcdonald 's after sunday mass followed by walks on the beach and window shopping at the mall . some people may cherish an affluent childhood but i feel like i 'm at an advantage fiscally , psychologically , and spiritually because i can never take any small thing for granted i can absolutely see where you 're coming from ! growing up my parents were neither wealthy nor very poor , but i feel like i had a great childhood . that 's cool . would you say these days you 're living a minimalistic or lavish lifestyle i live pretty minimalist . i have the things i need to enjoy life , like a home gym and a gaming computer while being able to afford living essentials . it does n't take much for me to be happy .
The prospect of discussing contrasting lifestyles sparked a sense of excitement.
