First let me say that I love the title of your blog.
It's interesting to me that you mentioned looking at your granparents as a model and not necessarily your parents. My grandparents lived and were business owners during the depression. Not only did they teach us to live within our means, but the also stressed the importance on being a good neighbor. The area that they lived in was quite rural. All of the families in that area survived the depression quite nicely because they helped to take care of each other. When one had crops to sell but no one had any money to buy the would barter services or simply give their neighbors food until they could afford to pay. Extending a hand when we can and accepting a hand when it's needed builds strong communities. Strong communities not only survive difficult times, they will often flourish.
