1959 – Money Troubles

1959 young married woman seeks help from an advice columnist about money troubles.

One of my favorite magazines in my collection is a 1959 issue of “Sincerely Yours”, a magazine devoted to Dear Abby type of questions and answers meant to help mid-century women deal with life’s problems. Among the pages is advice from columnist Barbara Dean who answers a letter from a woman who is finding it difficult to live without “installment plans”.  Here’s the exchange.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
