My saying handed down from pioneer ancestors. Fun fact: my 2nd great grandmother- from Sweden - was a handcart pioneer. She pulled a cart from Nebraska to Utah; she noted that when they stopped for the evening, she'd take her trusty needle and thread and sew up the blisters on her feet of the day - in order to walk again at sunrise. Hearty folk. Dedicated. I often think about this when I start complaining about the distance from my parking spot to the store entrance...
I am from Ireland and our government has returned cursive handwriting to schools, because it is found that kids without cursive handwriting can't use scissors well and have poor sense of co-ordination in hands.
Leah Patts Back then, teachers would walk around the classroom with rulers and smack anyone's hands with said ruler if their penmanship was too sloppy.
I was a teacher for 30 years, retired recently. Back in the day we taught cursive beginning in third grade and every year up til seventh. Penmanship was graded and on the report cards. Now they don’t teach it til end of school, maybe 3 weeks due to pressure to score on tests all year.
For those asking about dad getting an allowance even though he is the provider. Usually the men provided and gave the earnings to the wife. She budgeted, paid bills, saved for family holidays. She gave hub an allowance for his little regular luxuries and needs. It worked well for most families (including mine) in western countries from what I heard from others. Also had ppl from European families and other areas did this too, so must have been a very common arrangement for those days.
I remember my folks doing things this way! My dad didn't exactly have an "allowance", but he did give my mom his paycheck when he got it and then just got money from her whenever he needed it. Mom kept track of the bills and budget so that expenditures were coordinated between them. My dad didn't make a lot of money, but we never really had any financial concerns because they spent carefully.
@@estrellacasias You are referring to how most women in "Viking" society were in charge of the household and domestic decisions? Most certainly true, but what I'm talking about when I'm describing the way my folks did things is a bit more all encompassing I think. My mom coordinated all spending. Before my brother and I were born both she and my father held jobs. (In fact she earned a bit more at her job than he did.) Early on in their marriage they would both write checks drawing from their joint bank account. They found that this made it a pain when it came to balancing expenses to income. With my mom coordinating all income and expenditures things ran smoothly.
This was the norm in the pre-christian and christian civilisations from the dawn of history to the era that is still in the living memory. Many other civilisation regions had it the same way. The job of the man was to earn money for the household, the job of a woman was to manage the household. Economics literally means "household management".

Basic budgeting instruction should be mandatory in all high schools. Avoiding credit debt, concentrating on needs rather than wants and a make do and mend approach will ultimately benefit.

@@lampyrisnoctiluca9904 exactly. Some people baffled me with the way they spend. I remembered throwing a tantrum to get my dad buying me an expensive phone when i was a teenager.

My parents had money but they never gave me any, made me work for it. They made me buy things with my own money. A thrift and save mindset that has stuck with me until this day decades later.
Since I grew up poor I didn't have to do any budgets, because there wasn't much money to waste. Now I have grown older and have much more money which I could waste, but the habit to buy only things which I desperately needed, this habit which I gained during my times of poverty and which is still strong, prevents me from buying too many unnecessary things. That's why colleagues who earn more money than me usually come to me to ask for money if they need some. I always get it back, but it is a sign and proof to me that I am on the right track.
Not all bad setting a goal of buying a product, but it shows at end putting more into savings. A person can take from this old video it is not buying everything you want and repurposing items and saving which sets you up to be a person who can make it on your own in future, a budget.

I think the Coronet films are the best of the films on this channel. Always relatable to the youth, share valuable life lessons, are clear, have decent characters with character development, and are short enough to binge while long enough to adequately share a message.
@@oldtimetelecommunicationsf2539 Nah, Kodak, which held 60 to over 80% of the film market at this time, bundled processing with every roll of film. This only ended in after an anti-trust suit in 1979. Kodak would also lose its near monopoly on film in the 80's, after the Japanese Fujifilm figured out how to make decent color film.
I just save any change get- Kinda hard when you don't use cash, but sometimes I'll get cash back and just stick it in my piggy bank. I don't miss it, and if nothing else I have enough to pay rent one month if something happens.
In this age of technology, it’s so hard to save up, especially since you can just use your phone or watch to pay at the store and do online shopping. Buying stuff has never been so convenient and there is also all of these small fees banks take, if you want to do transactions. It’s difficult to keep up, at least for me. I’m bad at saving too. I do like this idea though. Maybe I should try it out.
We need to go back to basics by bringing back home economics classes. I learned so much when our jr. high school and high school as part of our curriculum. Industriousness couldn’t hurt anyone.
I remember saving for the down payment on a car, it took 16 months. I worked three swing shifts a week and got off at midnight. I had to walk 2 miles to a bus stop for the last northbound bus. It dropped me off a mile from where I live. It was nearly 2 a.m. by the time I got home. The two graveyard shifts I worked weren't that easy either. For a few years I had a nice late model car until somebody smashed into me. I got okeydoked by my insurance company and the police department and I haven't had a car in months. My only income is my Social Security retirement now. I save for a rental each month but when I get to the rental office there are always extra charges and I can't afford it. Somehow or other I'm going to pull out of this, but for now....
Sure, but this was in the time of a gold standard, the quarters were made out of silver. You can't effectively save up in our modern economy with sky-high inflation when eggs cost double what they cost 5 months ago. I got 3 substantial raises of my pay at work in the past year, yet it still doesn't keep up with the inflation and I can't afford as much as I could a year ago, while our house doubled in value over the past 3 years and an old microscope I bought 5 years ago is now 5 times more expensive.
Right…if people only went to less movies and ate less candy they’d be able to afford 4k rent on a studio apartment 😅 Tell me you don’t understand the economy without telling me
It seems very extravagant to have sundaes and fast food.Growing u I remember eating out once.we went for an icecream cine in our birthday if you were a lucky summer birthday.We didnt recurve allowance. I went to one movie growing uo.Grizzky Adams.
I enjoy these old films. I know that in today's society it's frowned upon, but where I'm living now it's still much more common to see good manners & other examples from these films being used every day!
Typical stupid lame comments on here. But the fact is this is a good video for kids or anyone to see. Kids to adults need to know the value of saving money. And learning to budget can't be learned soon enough in life. They should remake this and show it in all junior high classrooms.
Im glad that not only does it show him diy fixing his pen but also shows he chooses to postpone saving money for the sake of recreation. A memory he wants to have
In 1948, college students who receives monthly pension of $120 with GI Bill until, you graduate it stopped. Currently cost is out of control and we do not have any malt shops anymore like Woolworth’s. So, I have to save up to $500 for new glasses since, it doesn’t covered by insurance anymore!
These days Stores & other businesses don't want to allow for "Saving up for what you want " . Most everything is only available to buy " for a Limited Time Only " Also After the 1980s companies began making things with built in defects on purpose so that things wont last as long as they did in the 1970s for instance,So that you have to replace things sooner than you should have to . It is also more difficult to spot the things that were never any good to begin with like the Pen, Jack didn't buy which shouldn't be allowed on the market once it's known as being worth nothing to begin with. I can't use the word worthless because companies see that as meaning it's worth something .That is how crooked businesses and their lawyers are now a days
I had to pay for my own school supplies and even my own clothes. I cut grass, shoveled sidewalks and when I was older, detassled corn in the summertime to afford the things I wanted for school. My parents gave me one dollar a day to eat in the cafeteria and paid for my books, which were too expensive for me. I could have let my parents pay for my school clothes too but I had to wear things my mother picked and I usually didn't like what she picked. So if I wanted clothes that were more fashionable, I had to pay for them. I saved my money for over a year to get the bike I wanted. At the time, I thought it was mean of my parents to make me pay for things. After all, we were middle class and they could afford it. But I wouldn't have learned anything about the value of things or the satisfaction of earning things on my own if they had. It was not a "tough life". It was preparing me for adulthood.
I have always told people that having been on an allowance system and later working part-time all through college were the best 'privilegedes' that my parents ever gave me.
I am almost 58- I still give myself an allowance. If you make a budget where you live on half of the least amount you will make and never change it, you will very soon become wealthy. Every 3 months put the excess into a dividend paying investment. My 30 year old son has just got a job that is almost double the pay of his previous one, and he is still broke. Too bad empty McDonalds cups don't have any value :(
Whatever I wanted as a child, I had to save for from my allowance. My allowance was larger than the ones of my peers, but not that much. Some kids had allowances larger than mine, but still had their parents buy them stuff. Having to save money on candies to be able to spend more on the book fair was such an educational experience. It made me value things I bought more than I would if my parents had bought them for me. There is also a thing with parents for example valuing clothes more than kid does but at the same time valuing electronic less. This system would definitely made the kid more satisfied, once they learn to save on candies. This is the skill that made my adult life far easier than it would be if I was just given the stuff I said I wanted instead. If I would ever have kids, I will do it to them as well.
I wasn't wearing my glasses I thought the title was "Your theft habits." I thought I was going to be watching a film about people stealing paper clips and fountain pens. He could save money by doing a dine and dash and not paying for that peach super delight.
What you have said is so true. I learned how to manage money from my mother. She always paid off her credit card at the end of the month to avoid interest. Most bills were paid on time to avoid late fees. I understood simple interest better after she explained it to me. Often it is cheaper to pay cash for an item than to charge it on a credit card. Or pay more than the minimum payment on credit car bills so you do not have to pay as much interest. Live and learn.
Some credit cards pay a percentage back- even if you pay them in full every month. We run almost everything through that now to get the %. (Buy most cars for cash, too.)
@@Twinkie989 my husband taught me that. I charge everything like groceries, gas, eating out etc. I pay the balance on my bill when it comes in and still get cash back from the card company.
I don’t know if it’s the computers that did it; they stop penmanship lessons after 1st grade, if I’m using myself as an example, and almost no handwriting anymore, unless you want to learn it on your own. I’m 25.
Never had an allowance. if we wanted something we had to do extra chores or get a job. And guess what, never struggled managing my money and staying out of needless debt my entire life.
I would go to the movies, in those days, before home video, it could be years before they run that movie again. The mixer, you see those people everyday.
Watch your pennies and the dollars take care of themselves. Live within your means. You may not always have the best, but you will stay out of debt. These lessons have been forgotten. Most people think they need two incomes or can’t live on what they make, when the real issue is their taste for expenditures and credit is stronger than their needs. I heard and Indian saying, “If you can’t afford the chain, don’t buy the elephant.” Live within your means and take care of what you have.
Jack is played by character actor and playwright George Furth. In the 80s, he wrote a play about being a child actor in 1940s Chicago called "Precious Sons." Well, it's about that and also horrific child abuse but I suspect those things often came hand in hand. This is utterly delightful, however.
I remembered in college I had to be on a budget and it sucked. Then when I graduated and was surprised (forgot about them) to find 4 student loans, it was more budgeting…..then I stopped and my finances were fine. Now tho….I may have to start again. Most of the money I saved to moved is gone. Had to use half of it to help my family with bills and other stuff when my dad lost his job right before my mom had her surgery. I remember spending $100 a month on ITunes cards. Now it’s more like every 3/4 months I buy one (I listen to Kpop). I have been deleting subscriptions I don’t need/use anymore. I’m definitely going to look at what I pay for via entertainment and bills, then expenses for food (which is a lot of money due to my health issues I tend to eat a lot and spend a lot on food). But I’m definitely not saving money on my current plan
them youngsters were better off than many grown people now. Even with spending nothing other than for the basic needs, many can't save anything, because these basic needs are getting so expensive now :-/
Young people, and not so young people, these days may scoff at videos such as this but it all makes sense even in today's world. The idea in the modern word is to land yourself in debt. Everyone wants everything in the now with an "I want I want" attitude. My parents were of this older generation in the film and brought me up in the same way. In turn, I have tried to teach my own children to budget but out of the four of them, only two do so. Still, I tried 😂

@@lampyrisnoctiluca9904 exactly. Some people baffled me with the way they spend. I remembered throwing a tantrum to get my dad buying me an expensive phone when i was a teenager. When i got it, i found that it was nothing special. Eventhough it was my dad's money, i still felt so wasteful for buying that.
I bought my current smartphone brand new for $60, 5yrs ago (and that was without sales and discounts, that was the regular price). Costs $35/month for the cell service. And it's a Samsung.
You should've created a graph to help you save.
I bought a used cell phone for $100 which i thought was hogh. On a family plan where i pay $25 a month for service.
Ralph is actually Don from "How to be Well Groomed."
I knew he seemed familiar!
that kid's penmanship is damn fine if I may say so myself
because we used to have to write everything by hand with pencil
I love these old videos, they are very informative and I love to see the past through them, simple daily life, yet fascinating. 😍
Yeah too bad we can't buy a peach super delight these days
@@Elephant-Fresh You can make one easily: Vanilla ice cream; whipped cream; cherries; canned peaches in syrup. Puree half the peaches in a blender; dice the remaining peaches. Pour puree into bottom of sundae glass; add ice cream; pour in more puree; add whipped cream; top with cherries and diced peaches.
@@snarkaholic oooh thanks ill give it a shot
Yes … they are fascinating to watch!
yes
The most important class in school should be personal finance
Yes; especially responsible use of credit.
This needs to be taught in elementary school through high-school
My Mother has Perfect Penmanship... she even received a certificate... On My /very Best day I can repeat that EXCEPT for her W. I can't do it. Hers is perfect cursive W. I am LEFT handed and my penmanship is exactly like hers except for those W's!!! but I'm grateful to have good penmanship.
For reference, $40USD IN 1960 was equivalent to around $400USD in today’s value. In 1948, it would have been slightly more.
These videos are teaching me a lot ❤️ Please, Old Tv Time, keep posting🤗
"don't indulge" is literally the best advice and also the antithesis of modern society
2 bucks back then is about 20 bucks today.
$21.07
If you had it in four silver half dollars it would be worth more than that now. I can't believe that when I was a kid, we walked around with SILVER coins in our pockets!
3 dollars "allowance" for mom and dad was roughly 32....
@@bluehydrangea5506 Why did dad need an allowance? He's the provider.
@@matthewkoch6937 because he also works around the house, he needs spending money for the week to have some fun.
My parents had money but they never gave me any, made me work for it. They made me buy things with my own money. A thrift and save mindset that has stuck with me until this day decades later.
I remember both my grandfathers had such fantastic handwriting ... I'm still jealous and they're both gone now
All it takes is practice. Handwritten letters are rare.
Since I grew up poor I didn't have to do any budgets, because there wasn't much money to waste. Now I have grown older and have much more money which I could waste, but the habit to buy only things which I desperately needed, this habit which I gained during my times of poverty and which is still strong, prevents me from buying too many unnecessary things. That's why colleagues who earn more money than me usually come to me to ask for money if they need some. I always get it back, but it is a sign and proof to me that I am on the right track.
Not all bad setting a goal of buying a product, but it shows at end putting more into savings. A person can take from this old video it is not buying everything you want and repurposing items and saving which sets you up to be a person who can make it on your own in future, a budget.
This Shit motivates me more than anything I seen after 2000
My stars... who knew you could ever do so much with $8 lol
Blue, imagine a full semester of medical school tuition cost of $16.00 cash .
that's what it cost in the 1800s . I have a receipt to prove it .
I guess he wasen't planning on eating or drinking @ the game...
I googled it $8 in 1948 is $90.19 in 2021. It is a lot of money.
@@chrisz8585 adjusted for inflation, his 2 dollar allowance would be 22 dollars now. I wish my parents wouldve given me 20 a week as an allowance, thats a lot!
I agree with you.
Yaaayyy! A Coronet film!
I think the Coronet films are the best of the films on this channel. Always relatable to the youth, share valuable life lessons, are clear, have decent characters with character development, and are short enough to binge while long enough to adequately share a message.
Well Jack managed to get his camera but another hurdle he forgot...Camera Film..oh dear better start saving again jack 😂
1 roll comes with the camera. processing the film is a completely different cost.
@@oldtimetelecommunicationsf2539 Nah, Kodak, which held 60 to over 80% of the film market at this time, bundled processing with every roll of film. This only ended in after an anti-trust suit in 1979. Kodak would also lose its near monopoly on film in the 80's, after the Japanese Fujifilm figured out how to make decent color film.
I just save any change get- Kinda hard when you don't use cash, but sometimes I'll get cash back and just stick it in my piggy bank. I don't miss it, and if nothing else I have enough to pay rent one month if something happens.
In this age of technology, it’s so hard to save up, especially since you can just use your phone or watch to pay at the store and do online shopping. Buying stuff has never been so convenient and there is also all of these small fees banks take, if you want to do transactions. It’s difficult to keep up, at least for me. I’m bad at saving too. I do like this idea though. Maybe I should try it out.

We need to go back to basics by bringing back home economics classes. I learned so much when our jr. high school and high school as part of our curriculum. Industriousness couldn’t hurt anyone.
I just adore these Thank you
That's the nicest penmanship I've ever seen.
Still valuable after I all these years.
I remember saving for the down payment on a car, it took 16 months. I worked three swing shifts a week and got off at midnight. I had to walk 2 miles to a bus stop for the last northbound bus. It dropped me off a mile from where I live. It was nearly 2 a.m. by the time I got home. The two graveyard shifts I worked weren't that easy either. For a few years I had a nice late model car until somebody smashed into me. I got okeydoked by my insurance company and the police department and I haven't had a car in months. My only income is my Social Security retirement now. I save for a rental each month but when I get to the rental office there are always extra charges and I can't afford it. Somehow or other I'm going to pull out of this, but for now....
I think Jack is trying to channel Jimmy Stewart.
I believe the camera Jack purchased was an Argus C3. My dad bought one of these after he returned from WWII.
Yup! I still have my dads with the hard leather case.
If only MORE people got this. It's not really complicated. So much grifting these days.........
Sure, but this was in the time of a gold standard, the quarters were made out of silver. You can't effectively save up in our modern economy with sky-high inflation when eggs cost double what they cost 5 months ago. I got 3 substantial raises of my pay at work in the past year, yet it still doesn't keep up with the inflation and I can't afford as much as I could a year ago, while our house doubled in value over the past 3 years and an old microscope I bought 5 years ago is now 5 times more expensive.
Right…if people only went to less movies and ate less candy they’d be able to afford 4k rent on a studio apartment 😅 Tell me you don’t understand the economy without telling me
It seems very extravagant to have sundaes and fast food.Growing u I remember eating out once.we went for an icecream cine in our birthday if you were a lucky summer birthday.We didnt recurve allowance. I went to one movie growing uo.Grizzky Adams.
That was an experience reading that
I enjoy these old films. I know that in today's society it's frowned upon, but where I'm living now it's still much more common to see good manners & other examples from these films being used every day!
Typical stupid lame comments on here. But the fact is this is a good video for kids or anyone to see. Kids to adults need to know the value of saving money. And learning to budget can't be learned soon enough in life. They should remake this and show it in all junior high classrooms.
Im glad that not only does it show him diy fixing his pen but also shows he chooses to postpone saving money for the sake of recreation. A memory he wants to have
In 1948, college students who receives monthly pension of $120 with GI Bill until, you graduate it stopped. Currently cost is out of control and we do not have any malt shops anymore like Woolworth’s. So, I have to save up to $500 for new glasses since, it doesn’t covered by insurance anymore!
These days Stores & other businesses don't want to allow for
"Saving up for what you want " . Most everything is only available to buy
" for a Limited Time Only " Also After the 1980s companies began making things with built in defects on purpose so that things wont last as long as they did in the 1970s for instance,So that you have to replace things sooner than you should have to .
It is also more difficult to spot the things that were never any good to begin with like the Pen, Jack didn't buy which shouldn't be allowed on the market once it's known as being worth nothing to begin with. I can't use the word worthless because companies see that as meaning it's worth something .That is how crooked businesses and their lawyers are now a days
This is great!
Oh, this is very useful these days!
He has to pay for his own lunch and school supplies? Tough life.
What about the personal budget. Is it really teeth paste, hair shampoo, and soaps should last you a month.
Hell I have to pay for my own food and sometimes clothes and I’m 13.
Ok what about the school supply budget again pencils and papers should last you a month
Christina B. Those last me a school year
I had to pay for my own school supplies and even my own clothes. I cut grass, shoveled sidewalks and when I was older, detassled corn in the summertime to afford the things I wanted for school. My parents gave me one dollar a day to eat in the cafeteria and paid for my books, which were too expensive for me. I could have let my parents pay for my school clothes too but I had to wear things my mother picked and I usually didn't like what she picked. So if I wanted clothes that were more fashionable, I had to pay for them. I saved my money for over a year to get the bike I wanted. At the time, I thought it was mean of my parents to make me pay for things. After all, we were middle class and they could afford it. But I wouldn't have learned anything about the value of things or the satisfaction of earning things on my own if they had. It was not a "tough life". It was preparing me for adulthood.
That's a really interesting idea.
Ralph is a clever fella! He knows I want a tripod too
I have always told people that having been on an allowance system and later working part-time all through college were the best 'privilegedes' that my parents ever gave me.
My Dad said " you want a car? work more hours"........lol..
I am almost 58- I still give myself an allowance. If you make a budget where you live on half of the least amount you will make and never change it, you will very soon become wealthy. Every 3 months put the excess into a dividend paying investment. My 30 year old son has just got a job that is almost double the pay of his previous one, and he is still broke. Too bad empty McDonalds cups don't have any value :(
Whatever I wanted as a child, I had to save for from my allowance. My allowance was larger than the ones of my peers, but not that much. Some kids had allowances larger than mine, but still had their parents buy them stuff. Having to save money on candies to be able to spend more on the book fair was such an educational experience. It made me value things I bought more than I would if my parents had bought them for me. There is also a thing with parents for example valuing clothes more than kid does but at the same time valuing electronic less. This system would definitely made the kid more satisfied, once they learn to save on candies. This is the skill that made my adult life far easier than it would be if I was just given the stuff I said I wanted instead. If I would ever have kids, I will do it to them as well.
I wasn't wearing my glasses I thought the title was "Your theft habits."
I thought I was going to be watching a film about people stealing paper clips and fountain pens.
He could save money by doing a dine and dash and not paying for that peach super delight.
I love the 50's accent.
What you have said is so true. I learned how to manage money from my mother. She always paid off her credit card at the end of the month to avoid interest. Most bills were paid on time to avoid late fees. I understood simple interest better after she explained it to me. Often it is cheaper to pay cash for an item than to charge it on a credit card. Or pay more than the minimum payment on credit car bills so you do not have to pay as much interest. Live and learn.
Some credit cards pay a percentage back- even if you pay them in full every month. We run almost everything through that now to get the %. (Buy most cars for cash, too.)
@@Twinkie989 my husband taught me that. I charge everything like groceries, gas, eating out etc. I pay the balance on my bill when it comes in and still get cash back from the card company.
Only 73 weeks later, he can afford film for the camera...hahaha After this, I think I'm going to start calling a planned budget "Jackin' it"..jk
Lol that's epic
....in San Diego 🎶
2:55 Now people go to Starbucks and spend that family's weekly food budget in one visit.
3:10 Mom gets an allowance like the kids. Jack gets two, mom gets three. Mom is saving up to buy a hand gun.
lol........
20 weeks, That guy just needs a healthy diet of 2 min noodles and baked beans on toast
geez Rrez 😂🤣😂😭😂😭😂😭🤣
$18 a week for food.... I wish ! :)
Had a sandwich & a drink the other day.. Came out to $17.50…
That's for the entire family, not just him.
Everyone whining about car prices and inflation should watch this video and learn to change their behaviors to deal with the problem.
And i thought my handwriting was good... now I feel bad when I throw out my FP when it breaks.
Now Jack needs money for film.....ftw!!!
Oh shit! And film was NOT cheap in those days; 6 or 8 dollars a roll. I could see him taking that Coke back to the counter and asking for a refund.
Now he just has to save up for the film
Amazing how much neater and prettier people's penmanship and printing used to be in pre-computer age times....
I don’t know if it’s the computers that did it; they stop penmanship lessons after 1st grade, if I’m using myself as an example, and almost no handwriting anymore, unless you want to learn it on your own. I’m 25.
They are so weird but I can't stop watching
Intention is key! 👍💟
Wish O could travel back in time
Never had an allowance. if we wanted something we had to do extra chores or get a job. And guess what, never struggled managing my money and staying out of needless debt my entire life.
I would go to the movies, in those days, before home video, it could be years before they run that movie again. The mixer, you see those people everyday.
Why doesn't Jack pack a lunch instead of buying school lunches? That will save him some money.
Peach Super Delight = Starbucks Tall Latte. Adds up.
Watch your pennies and the dollars take care of themselves. Live within your means. You may not always have the best, but you will stay out of debt. These lessons have been forgotten. Most people think they need two incomes or can’t live on what they make, when the real issue is their taste for expenditures and credit is stronger than their needs. I heard and Indian saying, “If you can’t afford the chain, don’t buy the elephant.” Live within your means and take care of what you have.
Peach super delight...
Jack is played by character actor and playwright George Furth. In the 80s, he wrote a play about being a child actor in 1940s Chicago called "Precious Sons." Well, it's about that and also horrific child abuse but I suspect those things often came hand in hand. This is utterly delightful, however.
I remembered in college I had to be on a budget and it sucked. Then when I graduated and was surprised (forgot about them) to find 4 student loans, it was more budgeting…..then I stopped and my finances were fine. Now tho….I may have to start again. Most of the money I saved to moved is gone. Had to use half of it to help my family with bills and other stuff when my dad lost his job right before my mom had her surgery. I remember spending $100 a month on ITunes cards. Now it’s more like every 3/4 months I buy one (I listen to Kpop). I have been deleting subscriptions I don’t need/use anymore. I’m definitely going to look at what I pay for via entertainment and bills, then expenses for food (which is a lot of money due to my health issues I tend to eat a lot and spend a lot on food). But I’m definitely not saving money on my current plan
get the camera on credit... oh wai...
Gee Mrs Cleaver, these are swell films!
them youngsters were better off than many grown people now. Even with spending nothing other than for the basic needs, many can't save anything, because these basic needs are getting so expensive now :-/
1:50 *STONKS*
That show at The Strand.....$1
Ballpoint pens were new technology at that time and expensive.
Best thing about this video: when he fixes the pen with rubber cement! Ah, simpler times:)
I thought that too. Now we just get another pen out of a drawer.
4:52 That's one nice handwriting for a dude who get $2 for allowances.
Budgeting should be emphasized in schools and at home.
Wow, to think of buying a new pen would brake the budget...then trying to repair it with contact cement..lol
I show these to my 20yo wife to show her the way
that is a good upbringing.
Young people, and not so young people, these days may scoff at videos such as this but it all makes sense even in today's world. The idea in the modern word is to land yourself in debt. Everyone wants everything in the now with an "I want I want" attitude. My parents were of this older generation in the film and brought me up in the same way. In turn, I have tried to teach my own children to budget but out of the four of them, only two do so. Still, I tried 😂
15 cents for that super Duper peach delight that would cost about $30 today

And what's that in, Zimbabwe RGTS? 🇿🇼
In 1948, $0.15 is the same as approximately $1.62 today. :/
