No thank you. Put Conservatives in charge. I want to live like an American.
There's a lot of us Americans who already live like this.
Hanging clothes to dry? I put, maybe, two loads out of ten in the dryer. We have clotheslines strung in the basement and hang wet clothes on plastic hangers at 3" intervals and so long as the furnace or AC is running, the clothes dry pretty quickly.
Opening the oven once the baking is finished - been doing this for years.
In an effort to lose weight, I ditched the junk food and went to natural and potatoes and apples in the bags and it makes a difference all the way around.
Don't belong to a gym, but walk an hour a day and do a non-zen pilates class and spend $60/mo rather than $1,000/year.
It's all doable, you just have to be willing.
“I want to live like an American.”
You might want to define that. I live frugally. Not because I particularly need to, but because it’s a rewarding lifestyle. I don’t like to waste things.
Conserving is part of being a conservative.
Wasting money is part of being an American? We only make a certain amount of money in a lifetime, so every cent one spends on something he could have gotten just as good but cheaper is like flushing money down the drain.
