A friend sent me this video and said I might be interested. Of course, I opened it and watched it immediately. He was right, I was interested, and I loved it. It is hard to imagine that a person in 2025 has the discipline that it takes to live a 1950’s lifestyle. The young woman in the video is impressive. Her attitude is that of a disciplined marine. Imagine not having the internet, a cell phone, panty hose, and a modern car. Although I believe the car she drives has been updated mechanically and is the equivalent of a modern one, except that it is better looking than any modern auto.
Another service that is different from the fifties is medical care. I’m positive that if her husband was rushed to the hospital with a heart attack, she would not resist modern treatment. However, her kids would be better educated and pass minimum math and reading standards if they attended 1950s-level public schools. Her house is large enough for her family but lacks a 2025 theater room with only a single bathroom. The taxes on her house are affordable even in 2025.
She might have a valid point and become a trend setter. I grew up in the fifties, and agree that life was good then.
