Extra Work Instead of Debts
You might question what happens when unforeseen events like health problems or financial loss occur since they don’t have social security, insurance, or credit cards. Lorilee Craker says that when money is tight, an Amish person will take on a side job before turning to credit.
Asking neighbors if they could help out on their farms is one of those secondary jobs. Instead of relying entirely on others or being in debt, they prefer to learn a new skill to keep up instead. The Amish are a hard-working group, and taking on additional work is simply a way of survival.
