POOR: How Growing Up With Less Shapes the Rest of Your Life

POOR: How Growing Up With Less Shapes the Rest of Your Life

What does it really mean to grow up poor?


In this episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois open up about childhoods shaped by scarcity — no holidays, no pocket money, sometimes just one chocolate bar split between five kids. From immigrant families to life in the “richest country in the world,” they explore how poverty gets into your head, and why some of those habits never fully leave.


They unpack the psychology of growing up with “not enough”: how it affects stress, decision-making, ambition, guilt, and even generosity. And they explore the emotional side too — the pride, the shame, the resilience, and the strange tension that comes when you succeed, but part of you still feels like the kid counting coins at the shop counter.


This isn’t just a conversation about money. It’s about identity, survival, and the invisible inheritance of scarcity.


If you grew up with less — or love someone who did — this one will land deep.
