In 1961, a widow named Ada Mueller lived alone on a corner lot in Dubuque, Iowa, on $71 a month. The neighbors pitied her. She wore the same gray wool coat for thirty winters, turned down every supper invitation, and counted her coins out loud at the grocery register while the line waited. They called her the cheapest woman in the county. But when Ada died, the church ladies who came to clean out her kitchen opened one drawer, went silent, and never told her story the same way again. Here are 25 habits that were never about being cheap — they were about being unbreakable.
