^^^ and ^^ Yep, being poor is rubbish, even just having £200 a month to live on (after paying rent) is luxury by comparison. But being poor really helped me to live frugally naturally, so even though I have a lot more money now I still only buy what I need and will use, and still usually have money left over at the end of the month. It's nice to be able to buy a Pret sandwich or a burrito if I'm hungry, and not worry about how much it is.
