Very much like my lifestyle. Same income as 1984 when we retired...minus 1/2 the pension since I was widowed! Expenses only are lowered slightly when going on alone.
Everything shrinks in spending but I keep up the FR and the local donations to charities and people in need of food. Mostly now I give time and effort, but that is satisfying too.
Sharing my food for the past 3 years has been the reason for the loss of 30 pounds I had added over 20 years too...all a plus!
Thank you, 3D JOY!
