Those who grew up during the Great Depression and World War II were forced to grow up FAST - the personal consequences for failing to do so could be quite severe, indeed. They shouldered responsibility and worked very hard, and in so doing, they made life much easier for their progeny ... which has resulted in later generations becoming far weaker, in general, than that of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

My folks took in my grandmother because
she needed a place to live. She raised
us kids so that Mom could work and help
with the living expenses. Grandma taught
us to live Great Depression style, ie
never spend more than you have and save
all you can. It worked out great for me.
