They can afford musical instruments and a shotgun but not wallpaper.
Priorities I guess. Probably a hardscrabble life. So, they NEED the shotgun And music is good for the soul, especially when times are hard. Wallpaper, not so.much...

Maybe they didn't own the home and it was that way when they moved in.

The instruments likely were handed down from G-Granpa and handed down for generations.

Priorities I guess. If that's the first thought that comes to mind when you see that picture,,you must come from very privileged lineage.

LOL no that's certainly not the case in the way you are looking at it. I am not disagreeing with their priorities, not sure why you would interpret it that way. I did come from a privileged lineage. Grew up in a family tree with stable families and parents that stayed together, divorce was never really a part of our family tree. My dad worked hard and my mom was always there for us 7 kids. We never had much money but we always managed to sit down to three good meals a day and go on vacations as a family each year. I never doubted that my parents loved me and I always got along with my brother and five sisters. I got disciplined when I deserved it and knew the boundaries. I wish people nowadays could understand what that kind of a family environment is like. Privileged indeed.
