My Grandparents lived through the Great Depression and grew up having nothing. My Grandfather was born in Russia and immigrated to the US when he was an infant. Despite their reaching an economic status that put them in the top 1% of Americans before they were in the 60's, they never forgot where they came from. Sadly, they too never learned to live in the modern world. They ended up depriving themselves comforts and conveniences that they could more than afford but would not part with the money due to their living in the past.
They are now recently deceased and missed out on a great deal.
