We kids shared rooms, and we did not live in poverty.

That's why I said "relative poverty."

:) Don’t worry, I know that your children aren’t in the welfare line.

What I meant was that, while we were not wealthy, we were pretty well off, yet we did not expect our own rooms. Many parents today feel compelled to provide each child with his own room. My opinion is that sharing a room brings about a lot of social learning for kids.
