Just from memory, it varied. I think they basically went bankrupt once,
when they built a home beyond their means. I think Laura's father did
temp/seasonal jobs away from home when things got tight. I remember mom and
the kids being alone a good bit.

There was always a great deal of food description in the books--I think
that's because they family were often hungry.
