In 1981, a widow in Chillicothe, Ohio named Verna Mae Cobb lived on a Social Security check of $318 a month. Prices were climbing faster than any check could follow, and neighbors her own age were quietly selling their homes. Verna kept hers, and kept one small habit she never told a soul about. Her whole generation managed money with habits, not apps — habits learned in cold kitchens, passed down at the table, worn smooth by hard years. Here are 20 of them, counting down to the plainest little rule of all, the one that quietly kept her house.
