Not the 50's picture that most people my age remember. What has changed ?
Tea Party used to be referred as "The Boston Tea Party" in our history books.
$200.00 per week was a good wage.
A new car cost us 2000.00 and it had tires.
A new home was under 20,000. Solid built. Still standing today. Last sold for 399,000.
A decent place to "Rent" would cost us half my wages. NO PETS.
Stress was described as that "weak board" that made noise when your heavy set Grandma came over.
Respect was a given to all elders, people on the street, neighbors, wife (of course), and family.
Helping your fellow man with out asking for a payment.
A meal was easily whipped out, because food was cheap.
I could go on and on...
Have a better Tomorrow
Don't get me started on the American dream. We are trying to get by with what we have with no credit and it's not always easy. BUT, we have a roof, a full belly and happy critters. It's all good. Throw God in the mix & we can't go wrong. Love you baby!
