Wow, such wonderful times those were for me. There certainly was alot of freedom back then. Living without fear and living with abundance is how I best remember those days.
The other thing that strikes me is back then there was no 'health insurance' so to speak. At least we didn't have any. But we had wonderful dental and medical care. Hospitalization when we needed it, vision care if we needed glasses. We were not wealthy folks by any means. My father was a construction worker and mom stayed home to raise the kids. We always had good food and clothes etc. Things just weren't as costly back then.
Such carefree living isn't just run of the mill anymore. I guess you have to make your life carefree, stress free and as debt free as you can to try to capture a small slice of that heaven :)
Thanks so much for making this post! I think you've got a great idea with your series, too!! I will certainly be reading :) Have a great day!
Thank-you for the awesome comments. Your memories are so wonderful.....in fact I didn't remember about having no health insurance but the care and cost were good. Thank-you for the reminder. My family was also very similar to yours in that my father worked 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, to provide for the family while my mother was home raising my sister and me. But we did always have good food and clothing and the opportunity to do girls scouts, church and public swimming. Those were really happy days for me and so I wanted to try to take this journey to remember them. Thank-you for reading my article. I really had fun writing this one. I will start to work on the next one soon. I am slow but sure! :D
