A small purchase sends me into an hour or more of just weighing whether it's worth it or not, even going as far as having to convince/bargain with myself to buy the thing that I want/need

I grew up slightly above the poverty line and I have the same mindset, even if we could virtually never afford anything like a game console, heck, I've even had to buy myself my birthday present at 13 I think it was... Though perhaps I'm taking money a bit too lightly in comparison. Or I dunno, sometimes I'm hyper vigilant and other times I don't care that much, it is what it is...

@IRosamelia So firstly, I'm from the EU. Secondly, I'm pretty sure while I was growing up virtually everybody had a microwave, at least as far as I was aware back then (talking mostly about mid 2000s to mid 2010s). Also, having a car is kind of a requirement when your job is pretty much out of city and there's no other transport that could take you there (except asking for a colleague or somebody to pick you up I suppose) and this was in a relatively poor country as well (I'd consider it middle to low class)

@IRosamelia No, as I said we were above the poverty line, though not by much, just enough for the essential stuff, like a car and a microwave (I guess these may not be that essential but I digress)
