Uh...hop a bus? The nearest bus to us is about 2 hours away. Hubby goes to his job one way and I go to my job the other direction. We can't even carpool.

as a Depression baby and WWII survivor, I am amazed at what people consider necessities these days. When we were young, we rented modest homes and fixed them up. I stayed at home back then and used my time to do things that cut costs. No frills for the kids, just basic food, clothes & education.

You are so right on track. I have no idea how so many frivilous things can be considered necessary today. The learning how to do, how to make do, when to do that and when to buy, how to be content with what one has, is critical to having quality of life no matter when/where one lives. Those that have never learned this concept are in for quite a ride with the way this country is going.
