    Yeah, Bridal Bargains was the catch here too, which led me to Baby.

    I'm not saying that this is the same as growing up poor - I grew up poor - but it's a factor in your self-perception of your income and lifestyle.

    You nailed it, imo. I didn't grow up poor but my mother and father did. Growing up poor taught them how to survive in an age when accepting help was frowned upon. They worked hard all their lives and taught me to spend sparingly, buy quality products and take excellent care of the things I own.

    I also agree with lizzywednesday in that this place has been a haven for me in uncertain times. Thank you, Denise and Alan! I've given your book as gifts to everyone I know who's having a baby!
