bearisgray - I think you stated it perfectly. I can relate to everything you said. It is a copy of how I was raised. I think times were just different back then and people conserved more for their money. Nowadays, people don't value money in the same way. It just kills me every time my son wants to go buy a pair of jeans that yes, have holes in them for $100 plus. I don't think so. And I am being conservative saying $100 plus. I too strive for perfection in my sewing. And yes, I too look at the back side. Probably just a bad habit that I can't break. But I don't let it control me and ruin the fun of sewing.
