Irish famine immigrants saved large amounts of money says American History Journal

No matter how many times Irish publications, writers, TV, radio, etc. talk/write about the "famine" it won't cahange the fact that there never was a famine in Ireland but there was a deliberate starvation Anyone who continues to discuss the " famine" must be willfully ignorant of the facts or is deliberately trying to hide the facts. There is abundant accurate information available to anyone who who to know the truth

Most interesting especially since I have an 8 Dec 1862 receipt from the office of the (New York) Irish Emigrant Society (No. 51 Chambers St) for a deposit by a Luke Daily. I have not been able to figure out how this receipt came down to my non Irish line of my ancestry or have I been able to discover much about this Luke Daily (note the spelling of the surname). I have been looking for anyone who might like to have this receipt.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I was once better than $30,000 in debt and had a checking account balance of -$12.95 for months, after I lost my business. I got a job, paid off all my debt and never again accrued any debt...I would panic if my checking account balance went under $3,000. Unfortunately, the bank disaster robbed me of everything once again...my job and most of the money I had in my 401K plan. Back to square one, only this time, I wasn't able to find another job due to my age (I was 61 at the time). Once my unemployment insurance ran out, I had to file for SS early...and lost about $400 a month, which represents money I would have gotten had I been able to work until age 66. I'm careful...very careful...about spending these days. Sigh.
