At this point I am just going to go into the frugal mode I lived by in my early 20s - cutting expenses anywhere and everywhere I can, and eating a cheap but sufficient diet. Not that I absolutely have to, but I see no reason to fund an economy that was fashioned for us by those who hate us.
“At this point I am just going to go into the frugal mode I lived by in my early 20s - cutting expenses anywhere and everywhere I can, and eating a cheap but sufficient diet.”
Amen to that. I spent all of my 20s and much of my 30s pretty much broke (the first year I ever made over $10K was the year I turned 33, and there were 3 more sub-10K years before I was 40). Probably less fun now, but not unprecedented.
There are some expenses I would cut in a heartbeat, specifically television, but my wife won’t hear of it.
