Yeah, I didn’t think about, or understand wealth. I don’t now … just an old hippy.

Our neighbour had a car, as a kid that meant they must be millionaires
For me it was owning my own box of Rowney paints and a lovely book of cartridge paper

Having brand new clothes. My Mum and Dad worked so hard to provide for us but Dad was only on a low wage in a rural area where there wasn’t much else in the way of employment. Mum used to knit us lovely new cardigans and jumpers and we had new underwear but everything else was cast offs from wealthier cousins and jumble sales. I went to primary school in my cousin’s posh Irish convent uniform …… while the other kids went without uniform!

Compared to the standards of my childhood home, my ratings were:
Comfortably off:
Shoes without holes
Food to eat every day
A Light bulb in every room
Not having to hide under the stairs when the rent man called.
Great Wealth:
A refrigerator
A TV
A car
