   I remember way back then. We had the Whole Earth Catalog and Mother Earth News.

   Folks of modest means saved their money, paid cash and or bartered/traded for things they needed.

   As teenagers, we raised cash by mowing lawns, shoveling snow from walks/driveways, delivering newspapers,
   selling seeds and greeting cards door-to-door, babysitting, etc.

   We planted gardens and grew many our own vegetables. We also purchased local produce directly from local farmers.

   We also developed a number of DIY skills, including basic car maintenance and repairs, woodworking, basic carpentry,
   sheet metal work, plumbing, electrical wiring, masonry work, etc. I still use most of these skills today.
