I was born at the beginning of WW2 in England and grew up with severe rationing and shortages of everything. I think that profoundly affected me. I hate waste and find it hard to throw stuff away. I still have a few school exercise books from the 1950s sitting around in case I need them. (I tore out the pages that had writing on them, so they are just stationery.)
I have also been collecting books since the mid 1950s. One of my reasons for getting an ereader was so that I wouldn't need to hang on to so many books. I intend to give away the majority of my pbooks.
