My idea of frugality for the new age of malignant leviathan government growth is not just to “save old mouse traps” figuratively speaking, but mainly to cut the number of projects I agree to work on, so that my income stays as low as I can make it while I still pay all my bills. I am not eating out, not wasting money on “entertainment”, fixing my 11 year old car rather than buying a new one, doing home repairs myself, learning to live with the absolute least amount of money I have to spend or earn, etc., etc.
My goal is to be sure there is not one spare penny left to pay to the bloated, rotting corpse of government.
Dude, you and me both. However, there will soon be a law against this, and you will go to the death camp. sorry about that.
