Well, I was born in 1924, so that makes me kinda ancient!
My Grand-dad lived on the farm during the depression, and farmed with horses. They mailed out a big tin box of eggs every week, to some buyer. They also grew and raised all of their food. They didn't have much income--they took care of the farm because it belonged to a rich man from the area, and he needed somebody to keep it in good condition, not let it go fallow! I don't think they paid much rent. I'd go there during the summer to stay. My brother and sister weren't old enough to stay there.
My Dad lost his house in the depression! A better off fellow with cash paid off the mortgage! (I think it was less than $2000) And we got the boot! Dad made $200 a month, which made me frugal in my spending! Even now, if some jerk says I'm tight, i just say:"Not tight, just frugal."
Yeah, times were tough back then, and i think the Gov't is trying to engineer us back into another one!
