Garth Brooks may be wealthy, but he's reportedly not one to flaunt it. The country music star, 62, does not like to indulge in anything too extravagant, sources told Radar Online. This is likely due to his "humble Oklahoma upbringing," one of the sources claimed.
Garth previously opened up about what makes Oklahoma, where he was born and raised, so special. "If you were raised in Oklahoma, you were raised with all you need. There’s a rightness and a good-heartedness there that’s not anywhere else," he said, per Biography.
Garth's wife, Trisha Yearwood, 59, has a similar lifestyle. Garth and Trisha aren't really interested in taking lavish trips or buying luxury vehicles, sources explained to Radar Online.
They prefer to keep their lives simple. "Trisha doesn't complain at all about Garth's thrifty ways. They really are two peas in a pod when it comes to not showing off their wealth," a source told the outlet.
Garth previously described his parents, Troyal Raymond Brooks Jr. and Colleen Carroll, as "pretty real people." Garth was the youngest of six children, per Biography.
"They worked really, really good together," Garth previously said of his parents when speaking to Nash Country Daily, per Biography. "Dad would tell you things, man. My dad, he was sweet, full of love."

Now, as a parent himself, Garth doesn't want to "coddle" his children, according to Radar Online. He reportedly asked them to work while in high school so they could earn their own spending money.
Garth also continues to do work outside of the entertainment industry. On his weekly series called Inside Studio G, he recently spoke about some of the manual labor he's been doing over the summer.
"I have been working outside nonstop. I’ve been working chainsaws and throwing sledgehammers, and you think that’s what you love to do," he said. "Then you go down and play music, and that’s all you want to do."
Despite his love for music, sources told Radar Online that Garth finds some of the attention he gets embarrassing.
"He was taught nobody is better than anyone else and gets almost embarrassed by all the attention and adoration he gets," a source told the outlet. "It takes a big ego to get up on stage and entertain 75,000 fans at a show, but when he's not performing, he just takes a pin and pops his ego balloon!"
