As a child Scrooge spent most of his life in boarding school even at holiday times and more so at Christmas. This impacted on his later life.
His father it was assumed had a reasonable income (based on full time school boarder fees) so their home would have been quite comfortable.
the home Scrooge lived in when we first meet him was in fact his business partners Jacob Marley. It was originally a town house in inner London so it would have been costly and well decorated. Marley was not miserly like Scrooge and did like to afford the better tings in life. Scrooge took ownership upon Marley's death as Marley had no family . Scrooge, true to form sold off many parts of it as apartments and the basement to a wine merchant who used it for storage. Scrooge kept 3 rooms in the first floor area. It was sparsely furnished and had little if any money spent on his rooms - They were quite dark as again Scrooge wouldn't buy expensive candles

The Ghost of Christmas Past asks Scrooge if he remembers the path to his childhood home to evoke nostalgia and reflection on his earlier years. This journey serves as a reminder of Scrooge's lost innocence and the joy he once experienced, contrasting sharply with his current lonely existence. By revisiting these memories, the ghost aims to stir feelings of regret and prompt Scrooge to reconsider the choices he has made in life. This pivotal moment encourages Scrooge to reconnect with the emotions and values he has long abandoned.

Scrooge visits scenes from his past, including his childhood, his time as an apprentice, and pivotal moments with his former fiancee. These scenes allow him to reflect on the choices he made and how they shaped him into the bitter, miserly man he has become.
To take Scrooge back home for Christmas
Fred, Scrooges nephew does so every Christmas Eve
There were four spirits that visited Scrooge that night: the ghost of his dead partner Marley; the Ghost of Christmas Past, who "took" Scrooge back in time to Christmases--both good and bad--when Scrooge was younger; the Ghost of Christmas Present, who "took" him to his nephew Fred's home and the Crachit's home, to show him how joyously they were enjoying the season, in spite of being poor; and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, who "took" him into the future to scenes relating to Scrooge's own death.
