I've struggled with this headcanon for awhile
I feel like DC and IDC grew up poor
I mean like it makes sense, Confederation was a dead beat who probably fed himself before his kids
I don't even think they make that much money now, maybe just enough for clothes and living expenses
(Of course Gov would give em money off if they asked, I imagine they wouldn't want to ask though)
Maybe that's why DC will take any book given to him. He's used to reading books over and over and over again and wearing em out.
And the fact that most his clothes are hand-me-downs from Gov
But that does mean he's good at saving money...even if it's more on his partners then himself
