One way to get richer quicker is to make more money. Another way, often more accessible, is to simply spend less.
Our grandparents chose the latter as a matter of course. Sure they did without, but they also recycled long before it was fashionable to do so.
Shoes were repaired rather than tossed. Socks were darned, zippers were mended, buttons were sewn. Last night’s stew became this afternoon’s lunch.
Slow foods were the order of the day. Juice was squeezed, eggs were beaten, greens were grown. Tea was brewed, cakes were baked, extras were frozen.
Vacations were just a car ride away. Books were borrowed from the library. Cars were washed in the driveway. Exercise occurred in the yard. In the home. On the farm. You get the idea...
