If you don’t have wealth but live below the poverty line, can you learn how to be frugal?

When I grew up, we learned to do without. I learned to sacrifice those things I might have wanted. I didn’t ask for them nor did I complain about what I didn’t have, I learned to do without and that was very easy. Doing without was something you lived with. To learn frugality would not have happened because I didn’t have anything to be frugal with.
