                 The 1930’s were very different from modern day. Back then there were no video games and phones like now a day.  Kids and teen usually played board games or went to the movies. At the time movies where the hottest thing.  But watching movies was mostly accessible to the rich that’s because during the 1930-40 The Great Depression hit the United States. During The Great Depression money was very scares.  American family’s income was reduced by 40%. The average income for an American family was around $1,368.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the president in 1920-33. At the time the population on the United States was 123,188,000. Back then medicines weren’t as well as they are now a day so the lifespan was much shorter then it is now. A male’s lifespan was 58 years while a female’s lifespan was around 61.
