We turned 17 together a week ago. Two days apart. I was extatic that I had my first 5 driving lessons paid for me as my present from my parents. Two days later and she wakes up to a PS5000 car on the drive. Meanwhile in the same week I'm lending my mum PS200 until payday so we have enough money for shopping and don't have to borrow off my grandparents for the 5th week running. She's eternally grateful for everything she gets and not spoilt at all. But she grew up as the only child in a well off family. Had holidays to Hong Kong and India. I grew up with two brothers and had holidays in a caravan in Great Yarmouth. It's the little things too. They won't think twice about going out for a meal in the middle of the week just for the hell of it and paying a bill in excess of PS100. We only go out on birthdays and have to be wary of how much we spend. I don't judge her at all and her family are hard working and lovely. It's just hard not to be a little bit jealous sometimes.

My SO come from slightly different classes. But I've never felt like there was a large economic gap. I'm a farm girl, he's a bit of a city boy. We were both raised to not spend money extravagantly or on things we don't need. That being said. The biggest shock I had visiting his family was that everyone owns a tuxedo. My times visiting his family we were going to a wedding. After 6, all the men wear a tux. Never in my life had I been to a wedding where the guests wear tuxedos. It happened so often I kind of thought they just put on a tux every Saturday night!

I had to teach him how to do his own laundry. I've been taking care of myself and my laundry since I was 8. He's better now.

I'm the one from the poorer background and I never feel secure when it comes to money. Holidays and new clothes etc are hard for me to buy without feeling intensely guilty even if I have the money. For me there's just anxiety around everything, spending too much on food especially (leading to just skipping meals or eating cheap crap 20p instant noodles hollaaaaa) Boyf never gets this!

My boyfriend grew up under Jehovah's Witness parents that forbade him from experiencing holidays. It's been incredible watching him get to experience his first Christmas morning, carving pumpkins for Halloween, and all of the other shenanigans that the holidays bring now that he no longer lives with them or follows their beliefs. I've never seen a 22 year old squeal in delight at presents under the Christmas tree before. He constantly has a big smile on his face every time we look at holiday decorations and when he tells me about all of the gift ideas he has this year. It's amazing watching somebody experience something for the first time when it seemed like everyday life to me as a kid.

My parents were. My mom had servants in her house and my dad lived in a poor family. Both my mom and dad were the youngest of six children my mom was spoiled as a kid, my dad had to do all the dirty work, cooking and cleaning for the house. What I see now is my mom makes my sisters and I do a lot of house work all the time, and usually my dad willingly joins us and loves working around the house. They are usually good about showing us that everything in life is earned, not given but I'm their own ways. My dad talks about his life growing up and my mom talks about her dad and how he made all his money from nothing.

"My mother was murdered when I was a year old. My father and step mother were given custody of me, they are hardcore bikers. I grew up learning learning how to sell drugs, fight, work on bikes, make moonshine, etc. my parents beat me, neglected me, pimped me out. My SO comes from upper middle class, went to private school, family celebrates birthdays, having a fridge half filled of food is "getting low" etc. We learn from each other. She now knows how to field dress a deer and change her oil on her car. I know how to balance a check book and manage my college debt. We never worry about money because I can make a twenty feed us for weeks and she knows when to remind me to spend money on myself. Really, we just teach each other and love each other for or differences. "
