Many people after the Depression would hold on to scrap and junk, they wouldn't throw things away. Junk had value.
Most people survived and their land and the key was low rent and mortgage.
If you start a business, really you should be able to survive at least 5 years without any customers. That was possible when office space was $200 or $300. Now our society is based on "mine the miners" . Commercial building mug someone for $3500 per month rent, and when he goes out of business, they prepare to rob the next business owner. Once the government sees that kind of money being exchanged they start raising taxes, so there's no turning back.
My grandfather retired at 65 and lived to 105. during that time my grandparents didn't work much. Their house was $15k
Now, mortgage is $1800 to $2200 per month. You can save all the junk you want, the second you lose income you're bankrupt.
