This January, a Dayton widow we'll call Ruth Albright got a $52 raise from Social Security, and Medicare took part of it back before she ever saw it. Ruth wasn't scared. The reason is a $1.25 notebook on her kitchen counter, and a rule her mother wrote in pencil inside an older one during the Depression. Our grandparents got through the hardest years in this country with a dime store and a sharp pencil. We traded those habits for convenience. Ruth kept every one. Here are 25 of them — plain, cheap, and still working — counting down to the one in that notebook.
