For most of my young life, my dad worked for General Motors. What with strikes every few years, and (by the time I was 11) 8 children subsisting on one income, (and mooching uncles & spouses & spawn living on our couch), it took him over 45 years to pay off the mortgage- "mortgage" meaning, in French, the measure of one's life. That 45 years extended beyond his actual life. We used to get a fair amount of sustenance from the dumpster behind the local market. I have food problems to this day.
We used to say that the Y-donor worked for the UAW. If he hadn't we would have had to sell my sister to get food. (This plan went contra to me wanting to give her away.)
