Oh, no. I live in rural farmland and I am broke. Hell I have always been broke so its no different now. But I got everything I need. I keep my bills paid. I got a nice garden coming up too. I plan on making some squash caserole this weekend if I can pick few good sized ones. If not, I will go to the WalMart and buy them. I hate going there. Its always so crowded. Just packed out everywhere you go nowadays. The shopping district in town is a nightmare...people everywhere.
I know what you mean. Tried to find a camping spot for the weekend so we could spend some time with our kids. NO such luck....All Full.
We too manage to keep our bills paid and have a garden coming up. (my Wife even hates shopping)
Sorry if I sounded alarmist. Too many these days don’t feel the effects of what’s happening in the world.
