Poverty is also a driving force. I've never had a lot of money so I had to be creative in order to do a lot of things. I know how to fix repair and even build my own house. I know how to fix and maintain most things with all my vehicles. I know how to build fix and maintain my own computer systems because I could never afford expensive devices or to pay anyone to fix things for me.

Because I couldn't afford much, I've instead had to spend most of my time doing things myself.
