I meant that you should be able to pay your mortgage or rent, put very basic nutritious food on the table, transportation, pay basic utilities and buy those other things which we all need, such as clothing, toiletries and medications. But a recession such as this is not the time to be worrying about vacations, tuition, dining out, extravagant entertainment, parties, expensive hobbies, gift-giving and the like. Many people on Earth live rather well on less than we pay for car insurance in a month.
” this is not the time to be worrying about vacations, tuition, dining out, extravagant entertainment, parties, expensive hobbies, gift-giving and the like.”
Amen!
Time for people to stop living like we aren’t in a recession and start living like adults. People don’t need yearly vacations to the tropics or Europe and they don’t need to have massive amounts of electronic equipment.
