I think I bounced around the middle-class spectrum. Never worried for food or shelter, but after parents divorced I realized I had it really good before they were divorced. I think noticing how much "poorer" we were has made me appreciate money more, but I still got into debt trouble for 10 or so years.

I say we never worried for food or shelter, but we did have lots of family help for shelter and were eating much cheaper than before the divorce.
