We purchased a lot and built a house and during this recession and it was very expensive to find and buy property. Because of this, pricing for everything including taxes and mortgage were inflated and we payed way more than we could afford.

This affected what we could have as well as eat. We barely had enough money for food and electricity and everything. Almost lost the house, our cars....Our life...Even today we don't have as much as we would have. Sure, I live a very lavish life, I'm lucky to have it and I'm lucky to have everything I have. Hell, I'm more than lucky to have what I have.

They were able to cut down trees on the farm to provide the fuel that would heat their living room.  Great Grandpa said they tried to sell wood to other families but no one could afford it so a lot of the times they would give the wood away to help other families stay warm. As the depression slowly moved on Great Grandpa decided to leave the family to try and find work.  He would stay away for weeks at a time, a lot of the time he would go where the work was.  He worked on bigger farms during the harvest; he also worked in the stockyard in Chicago and eventually worked for the railroad till the end of the depression.  While working at all these different jobs he barely made enough money to provide food for his family let alone to try and save money.  Once the depression ended my great grandpa was able to return home to a family that survived the depression without anyone dying.  The family stayed together through this terrible horrific time. ]]> 2017-03-07 14:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tfritz1/2ze9zi5vudfl/wish/158340981 https://padlet.com/tfritz1/2ze9zi5vudfl/wish/158341190 2017-03-07 14:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tfritz1/2ze9zi5vudfl/wish/158341190 https://padlet.com/tfritz1/2ze9zi5vudfl/wish/158341644
