My mom did well but was modest and didn't have a huge house and never spent money on things we didn't need. She was frugal with spending and showed how to stack coupons. We used to get 500$ worth of clothes for like 180$.

Tj Maxx and Marshall's were my shit!!!! You could find the coolest stuff on the clearance rack.

I didn't grow up super poor but we didn't live like stereotypical rich people either.
