YES. Depression-era survivors knew what was up. My grandfather was a fucking saver. No education, hustled in a trade job, retired with no debt and still had $500k in the bank by the time he died in his 80s (20 years ago).
My grandparents had freezers stuffed full of food that they only bought on big sales. They lived comfortably, but frugally. They travelled at cheaper times, saw the world.
My parents (boomers) died with debt and < $250k. They thought I was radical / fanatical about no debt and saving.
Bring the old ways back. Built and perfected by hard men and women.
