re: I wonder what it was like during the Great Depression

My grandfather was what my dad considers to be mentally ill after having been the breadwinner at a young age for his widowed mom during the Depression.
Everything became about making money and either saving it or investing it to create more money. He tended to squeeze nickels hard enough to make a buffalo fart because he was always worried that something would come up and they wouldn’t have enough money.
He also made a bunch of strange decisions that fell into the category of “penny wise pound foolish” because he thought spending that extra money was a waste.
