I feel this to a lesser degree. I just hate when I have something better than people I care about. Also hate getting gifts.
You should share those tips, friend

Well, one of the things that helps me comprehend the value of money is thinking about it as time.
Let's say I make ten dollars an hour, and I want to see a movie that'll cost me 7.50. I have to spend forty five minutes to see that movie.
If I want the latest goyphone for 600 bucks, that's sixty hours, or a week and a half's work.

As I work a pretty physical job, I can think vividly about how much soreness and work it takes me to create that money, so it makes it easier to say no to things that aren't basic necessities.
You'll also notice that people who are wasteful with their money (neets, teenagers with allowances, single mothers on child support, etc.) can just go get more pretty much whenever they want, so that money has no value to them.I know this isn't super glamorous like "invest ten dollars in shekelcorp and be a millionaire next week!" but it's worked well for me

Quints don't lie.
I actually do this to some extent, though I mostly think of it in terms of my bills though.

Wait till 25 and drink and smoke a lot. Read some philosophy. Thabo males everything ethereal. You will be able to love only onces though.

I have massive Jew guilt complex.
Same lower class family that harped on me eating every bite, saving a nickel whenever possible.
I'm thankful, though. I have a nice savings built up and work a relatively shit job. I can't recklessly spend money even if I tried.
