During the Great Depression, my grandfather was a small town sheriff. When many were out of work, he had a job. The same is true for teachers. When he had the cash, others did not. So he bought up a music store, a well drilling business, and several apartments which were foreclosed. Having the cash is the key. If you have cash, you have power. Power to buy what others cannot own. He bought, bought, bought...The KEY is....be debt free, have as much cash as possible, and then buy wisely. People will always need basics.

What was life like as an unemployed person in the Great Depression?

The major crash of the stock marketin Wall Street, and bank failures, factors contributing to the great depression, had much impact on many countries and and its people, Australia being one of them. Many were left with no jobs, and no jobs means no money, no money means no food, no home. 1932 was the worst year of the depression for Australia, and it was a time of desperation; unemployed people became beggars, were traumatised, accepted any kind of job, went through poverty, divised short term solutions that didn't last long, men were laboured, people who did occupy a job were underpaid, people sold their possessions, their land, lived in camps, worked in unpleasant sweatshop conditions, fled before rent/board pay was due and had rations. These were coupons or tickets, used in exchange for food; milk, bread and cereal. THis time was known to Australians as 'living on the susso'. Many were left homeless. It was an awful time and hopefully it won't happen again.
