We live in uncertain economic times. The United States is facing the most significant unemployment rate since the Great Depression. What can we learn from those who lived through those troubling times? The depression-era frugality tips, tricks, and life-hacks are lessons that we in modern times can utilize. In my audiobook, Depression Era Frugality, I will show you how our grandparents and great-grandparents made it successfully through the Great Depression. You will learn how to become frugal in every aspect of life so that you can live life to the fullest.

It is a strange paradox that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learned while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry, and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard. The Comfort Book is a collection of consolations learned in hard times and suggestions for making the bad days better.

Every morning you wake up it feels like someone else is out there to hit you with an all-new level of stress and pressure. The teenage years shouldn’t be like this—and you have the power to change it! You have to be the best in class and in extracurricular activities. You need to be the model child for your parents and the rock for your friends. You should dress the part, have the followers, and do it all with a smile!

The therapist informed me that I was like an anorexic in that an anorexic doesn’t recognize hunger and has to be told when to eat. I didn’t recognize disrespect and had to be clued in to when it was going on in a form too subtle for me to recognize or too bold for me to believe it was what it was. After experiencing one molestation and two sexual assaults in my youth, I went on to enter into three consecutive abusive relationships as an adult. And then...I had a nervous breakdown.

I am not claiming my illness has been cured for it would seem that once one’s nervous system is damaged there is always a slight chance of a relapse, but at least these days I rarely get pulled into that fearful darkness and when I do usually it only lasts a few minutes, whereas in the past sometimes my depression would haunt me for months before I was able to struggle back to the surface of life. Having successfully used these methods it is my hope that others dealing with the ravages of depression, physical pain, emotional torment and/or chronic illness might also gain some benefit.
