The Dude looks really well for 77 year old

no fat, straight back, walks upright... maybe work does indeed set you free?

though it is rather shameful to live in (((Debt))) in that age, but what can you do...

>"I grew up on a farm," Larry said. "Nobody there instructed any of us to put money aside and make your own way later on down the road."

I grew up in a rural town across a hay field from a trailer park and could ride my bike to several Amish farms and I still knew how to save as a child even before I got my paper route.

Last generation with a significant % of the town being farmers were my grandparents. I have fond memories of helping around the family farm.

The retirement plan of farmers was ''the kid who keeps running the farm, has to keep the parents in the house untill they die''.

This usually ( but not always ) extended to unmarried siblings. Those were all expected to help on the farm untill too sick, or if they moved out.

This tradition only died when farmers either stopped having kids or their too-few kids all left for the city or some other job. Wasen't a problem if you had 5+ kids. It was pretty-much guaranteed one would take the farm.
