In 1938, a coal miner's widow named Ruth Coleman raised four children in a two-room house in Welch, West Virginia, on $11 a week. Not barely surviving — fed, clothed, warm, and pie cooling on the windowsill every Sunday. Her neighbors never could figure out how she did it. All over the country, widows and Poor Man households ran on almost nothing, and they did it with habits, not apps — plain habits nobody bothered to write down. They still work, and on a fixed income today, the right handful of them can quietly hand you back around $500 a month.
