[QUOTE="milesvb, post: 500836, member: 413"] I'm a '71 model and only remember what seemed to me at the time as a mild downturn. I'm sure it was much more serious for my folks. I don't think most people these days truly realize how much our standard of living has risen from that of prior generations. But I am lucky in that I know much of how my grandparents and great grandparents lived. My dad grew up without running water or indoor plumbing. My grandma cooked on a wood stove back then. Meat and vegetables was whatever they raised. They passed those memories on to me and I don't forget them. If today's generation would have to go back to a similar standard of living I wonder how many could adapt. [/QUOTE]
