Maria Felix has rather more exciting childhood memories than most.

Born shortly after the turn of the 20th century, she recalls the Mexican Revolution.

She has survived two world wars. She has seen society transition from agricultural and mechanical to electronic.

She has been judged too old to be eligible for a bank card—and without that bank card, she cannot cash her 1200-peso (US$63) monthly old-age welfare voucher.
