1. I’ve been joking to friends for 20 years that I drive my cars until they die or I do. Then if I’m still alive I buy another used one. I can afford a new one, even to pay for one outright, but I won’t.

2. I look at the people in a mad rush to get the latest Apple gadget, flat-screen HDTV, or OS upgrade and shake my head. Spending my wealth on such things only benefits Zero and I won’t do it. I do just fine with what I have.

3. I vacation at home.

4. I stopped going to the movies years ago. I stopped watching the Oscars two decades ago. I will NOT support the Hollywood Left. Two hours of entertainment isn’t worth it. I’ve found ways to entertain myself. I started writing fiction, and I find it very entertaining. Hint: don’t worry about ever getting it published. Just have fun crafting a story that you would like to read.

Exactly. Think depression...Except, this one will come with more chaos and violence because Integrity, Morals, and Fear of God have been stripped away in the last couple of generations. Generally speaking.

I no longer go to any movies, they are all leftists in Hollywierd.

I stopped going to a health club a couple of years ago.

I changed jobs last week because I thought Romney would not win, I can make more money at the new job.

Do not keep money in the bank, leave only what you need.

I am going in this morning and annoucing that after 40 years... we are forced to close

Oh, how I wish I hadn't sold my small business, in which I employed about 25 full timers. If I still had it, I would do the same, and suggest to my employees to ask obama and the left to look after them.

"Most of all, I’m boycotting the music and entertainment industries. These people are examples of a kind of ignorance and moral decay that I’m not even sure I want to attempt to understand."

I understand what you're saying, and this is not a criticism ... but what music is being made that is even remotely worth buying?

I used to think the same thing, but now I am inclined to believe that the Fed. Gov. will simply spend itself into irrelevance. When that happens the States will pickup the powers they originally gave to the Feds. Do believe there will be problems in States that cannot continue to feed and support their dependent class and maybe some limited military actions between have States and have-not States. I do agree with the Russian physicist who predicted the breakup of the US.

I am prepared to support my County and State in maintaining order and if necessary move toward independence.

I agree. Pay off your debt, stock up on weapons and we need to let America fall fast and hard. Otherwise we’ll end up like Europe. I’m ready for the civil war

That troll always comes on with his annoying questions. Ignore him.

Prayers up for us all.

I don’t see how what your proposing can be called living. “Hey, General Eisenhower, can we put off this landing? Because it’s kind of dangerous out there.”

I plan on engaging in as little economic activity as possible. If we all do that, maybe we can collapse the People’s Republic of Obamastan.

There is nothing we need to do to “Go Galt”.

God already has that one worked out.

Just make sure your name is written in the book.

Going Galt is impossible

Not if you really work at it.
