I have heard this term all my life but never knew much about what it really meant. I'm going to check out those links to learn more. This was a great read, but then, all your articles are. smile

thanks!

about the attitude of some elderly with respect to security and finances.

Have you ever seen the old movie, "Snakepit"? I wonder if that was actually a depiction of a poorhouse. I don't remember the particulars of it at the moment; just remember seeing it as a child, it left a very strong impression.
