Yes, farming helped and living through the depression also worked wonders too
Adding to that, the stress management that you mention. I think you are bang on with that too.
Going back to my grandparents, they never as my Gran says *we never wanted for anything*. They were content with what they had ie family / kids / house / land / beach etc..
They never had a mortgage(never ever had a cent of debt ever), never worried about getting the latest iphone or xbox or bmw etc
