My personal experience with that was seeing my grandma's old age checks, where each month (in winters) she would legitimately have spent more and be drawing from savings.
She still managed to grow a garden, can it, and give the excess to the church for charity, about 3 years longer than people were telling her that she didn't need to work so hard.
Your grandma sounded like a wise woman. Being self-sufficient like that, but realizing she wasn't able to sustain an income in retirement, being constantly eroded away.
When it's done little by little like that, people don't realize or maybe just realize that the "system" sucks - but by then it's too late to go back and rethink financial decisions. All by Cabal design, to keep us unhappy and working until the bitter end...
