That’s waaaay more than we live on. Good thing I know how to scrimp and remake my old clothes. Just finished sewing Christmas presents since I can’t afford to waste money. And am currently turning a pair of old pants into shorts and making a garden tote bag from unwearable ratty jeans, and have ideas on turning a stack of fabric samples into a quilt - all without spending a dime. But hey, so happy that woman can afford name-brand clothes and a fancy cell phone on my tax dollars. BTW, my cell phone is an old plain jane that does nothing but phone calls and is on a limited minutes of $5/mo.

We have been in survival mode for almost 15 years, but we have no debt, our home is paid for, and my truck is 24 years old.

Heck, even our Australian Shepherd/Rottweiler mix is pushing 17 1/2 years because she knows we can't afford another dog if she dies....LOL
