Discretionary spending...NOW!

Network with the sane (conservative) members of your extended family for support, both financial and otherwise. Minimize communication with the Obamabots, who are potential informants. Our family in eastern Europe has been through this. And then leave them to depend on the government. Some have to learn the hard way.

What an excellent point!

The United Way umbrella group is a secular, NWO organization. They have one of the worst, if not THE worst, administrative overheads of all charities. Their list of leftist and NWO group recipients is not what you expect.

I got a printout many years ago of UW charities. Shocking waste. One was a group that sponsored unwed mothers to send them on two-week vacations in the Caribbean, giving them a "well-deserved" rest from the stress of single parenthood. That was the day I started to research and donate to groups of MY choice.

Please, do your own research and pick an organization where your dollars have even a remote chance of actually going to the needy. Church groups are far better at helping the poor. Support them.

my employer has an on line donation system, has for a few years. Each dept. tries to get the best percentage of workers responding. After the first few years where to not donate one had to put in one was donating $0, last year they finally gave a I’m not donating at this time button.

The sooner one goes in and responds the sooner on stops the stupid mail requests! I don’t know if the company gives more $$ to UW based on response or not. Never asked that.

Per my tagline I have been “living lik no one else” to become debt free. I am only a few weeks from paying off my mortgage and as a result had started putting together a list of major projects and purchases. I was originally planning to spend about $48K over the next 2 years!

I am re-evaluating that list as we speak and can probably minimize that to $5K or less. If I can find a used laptop and a used couch, then I can get it even lower. Regretfully, I have to do a front porch repair that could run some significant change, but it is required to keep the city off my back!
