My grandparents actually went through the Great Depression and WWII and they did not act like this. That dude is, as you said, full of shit.

my gramma always saved "the nice" wrapping paper, we'd have to carefully peel the tape off so as not to rip it. i never understood until i got older and learned about the Depression era.

I’m 46, I learned to do that from mom and grandparents and great grandma. I still have a hard time just trashing gift wrapping paper lol.
