The 30’s were a very stressful decade for everyone who invested in the stock market. No one had any money because the stock market crashed and everyone had no money. In Oklahoma, along with the depression, they had to worry about the Dust Bowl. "This is the dust-storm country. It is the saddest land I have ever seen,” said Ernie Pyle. There were several dust storms a day. The income was very low for workers. Some people could not support their families on their very low income. Some times people would starve because they did not have any money. Many things were sold at very very low prices, for example, glass wear was sold for less then 5 cents. They did so that people would still by the merchandise that they hade so they could make some money. media type="youtube" key="KVh7sZl2H8c&rel=1" height="355" width="425" The 1930s was a great time for inventions. Transportation was very big. Some of the vehicles are Motorcycles, cars, and trolleys. Trolleys were very popular because they did not cast much to ride. A downside to riding the trolleys was that you always needed to have money to pay for the ride home. In the 30’s, life as a farmer was far from a piece of cake. There was never any rain, and with the Dust Bowl and everything, all of their crops we’re catching disease in the sand and such. They also did not have any money, because no one buys dying, dead, or diseased crops.
