I think having it once and then losing it would create some anxiety about money. My wife came from a professional family, not wealthy but very comfortable. I came from a blue collar military family where my dad made very little and when we moved (once a year) the govt. would lose his paycheck for two months (minimum). So it was always a case of never enough... things like traveling to a new duty station in AZ from MA in 1968, when we ran out of food in the cooler my folks stopped at a HoJos and and got two plain cheap hot dogs, they ate the buns and my brother and I got the more "nutritious" hot dogs.
