When this man is concerned about his kids, he asks Reddit:

"AITA for serving my family food from the trash?"

For context, my sister and I grew up relatively poor. When I was 6 our mom took a promotion and moved three hours away.

We found out in our adult life, she had been hoarding her money and giving our alcoholic father a small allowance to raise us. With his addiction problems, it left us minimal money for essentials.

By the time I was 16, we were technically on our own and was ransacking dumpsters to feed myself and my sister.

I’m now in my late 30s, have a successful career and live quite comfortably, my sister is also well off now. My wife and I have a great relationship, I’ve worked to stop some of my old habits from my upbringing.

Some of my penny pinching techniques, my wife graciously ignores and let’s me save our money where I can. However, there’s one issue we always can’t find a compromise.
