was like for older people prior to Social Security. And contrast that with now.

My grandparents were born in the 1880s, and were the first generation to have Social Security. Because it got started when they were already well along in their working lives, they didn't get much. And neither of my grandmothers ever worked outside the house. But the pittance they got made a difference. Even so, each set of grandparents lived with one of their children in old age.
