'My neighbors know me, but I get lots of either pitiful or concerned stares from strangers.'
Growing up without much access to money can impact our habits and perspective on the world. And if we do get the opportunity to make more money later on in life, some of those habits may still stick.

"I am dressed about 50% of the time in clothes that make me look like I live in my car or maybe the woods. I am retired. I have what I call 'house clothes,' which are 20 years old, from Marshall’s, that were $9.99 when new. They are clean and laundered. I wear them to the garden, drink my coffee, walk my dog, etc. My house clothes are faded, some stained. I don’t care. I walk around my neighborhood to get steps in.
"Hang on to crap I don't need in case it might be useful someday, and I'd have to buy it again and couldn't afford to. I do a 'purge' every few months , but the packrat instinct runs deep.""Shit, I let clean ones dry after wiping up water or drying my hands, then use them for dirtier jobs later.
