Compared to my grandmother, I’m a lazy bum. While my generation hires out domestic tasks without a second thought, she and my grandfather focused on how much money they could sock away for emergencies and their “old age.”
They both lived to just shy of 100, never needing Medicaid, government assistance*, or a handout. They owned their home outright (purchased with cash) and never took out a car loan, yet they always drove a nice car.
