Extended family living is the answer. Pull together, pool your resources with the ones you love and you will survive. Whether by necessity or choice .. "before it becomes necessary". Today`s Families are looking back into their Family History for Crisis Management Answers.

After World War II, with our economy in shambles, Families struggled to rebound, instinctively they counted on one another, some family members, older and wiser, some young and strong. Life savings "nest eggs" usually provided by the elder members of the family secured immediate financial relief. In turn the younger members of the extended family worked on building a solid future, they sought out and worked jobs, sometimes two or three minimal pay jobs, anything to contribute to the family`s financial future. Everyone worked together, the work ethic was amazing, even children contributed to the family security. Household chores were done mostly by the kids, while the grand parents kept a watchful eye on the kids`well being.

So the strong, young parents could focus on improving the job and wage possibilities. It took a while, but it did happen: Families Recovered, even thrived, and the family bond became even stronger.
