Yeah, it's not just in childhood, it also hits early adulthood as well, when people are just starting out.
I scraped by on ~ $600 / mo in disability until I graduated college in my mid 20s in 2008. My spending habits, my hobbies, everything was ingrained around that age.
Today I make 25x as much, and barely spend 2x. It's hard to change early habits.
