In the fall of 1987, a widow in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, named Ruth Beiler fed herself on $9 a week and heated her little house with one woodstove. She would never get a Social Security check. But every September, she carried a blue coffee can down to the root cellar, and nobody was allowed to open it. Ruth is a composite, drawn from decades of research on Amish families, but every habit she kept is real. We knew these habits once, then traded them for credit cards. Here are 25 of them, counting down to the one in the can.
