Mindset

I grew up middle class, so I

Was far from being poor

And maybe that is why I never

Yearned for having more.

 

That mindset is the reason

I can blame or I can thank

For how I spend, no matter

How much I have in the bank.

 

An upscale store or restaurant

Just makes me feel uptight.

I’d rather spend much less

On every item, every bite.

 

Our habits may be set for life

Though circumstances change,

Which some may understand

And many others might find strange.
