Grandma was a 1940s house wife when everything was 3 cents at the grocery store and the man worked for a living. A house cost 50 bucks to own and land was selling at 5c an acre. But if you lived in the city money was spent on entertainment. Men worked women didn't. The amount of social security retirement for women relied on the mans income, and inflation didn't keep up with the true economy rate. Most old women either got rich from husbands assets, or if they called into the single or divorced category, were left to drown. Because it was once really hard for women in the 30s 40s 50s and 60s through today to get high paying jobs
