No more pepperoni pizza. Make Pup-A-Roni pizza.

Beef jerky is really expensive. Use the jerky treats for dogs.

Sell you newer car. Buy a Chevy Lumina.

Conserve paper and use a family cloth.

No bottled or filtered water - use Louisiana mineral and chemical infused tap water.

Baggies instead of condoms.

Cucumbers instead of dongzillas.

Meal prep
Cancel half the tv/streaming services you have
Stop buying alcohol and junk foods
Instead if going out to eat on a friday night, spend the night in the gym. $40 a month gym membership or $40 a week eating trash

Found the insurance guy!

Political candidates will be giving away beer, wine and pot in the future to keep the mob docile. The government may put antidepressants, and tranquilizers in our water supply with the sterilizing agent that's already there.

Now I've been smiling lately
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun

For most who are not on a fixed income, there is 8% bloat in lifestyles.

Dining out (# of times, where you eat), getting nails done weekly, fancy this and fancy that, untamed vacations, on and on.

For you, on a fixed income, feel you. Thank goodness TD is not subscription!

Auto insurance liability coverage should be no higher than your 401k. Your house is protected from liability as is social security.


I don’t know a lot but this just doesn’t sound right at all.

I’m the opposite. I’ve always been a penny pincher with the mindset that saving will benefit me in the long run, but I finally changed. I’m spending much more money now (not counting inflation) than when Trump was in office. This ship is sinking fast so I’m trying to enjoy life more before the hard times really hit me, and I drown.
Anyone else like this?

Did you cancel a Medicare Supplemental Health Insurance plan?

If so, maybe you can replace it with an Advantage plan. My Advantage plan premium will be $0 in 2023. I’m in NC.

To me, this speaks more to how ignorant ABC thinks people that watch them are.


They should think that, because they are that ignorant. Dems are still touting the "inflation reduction act" as an inflation reducer.

Yeah. I’ve lightened up a lil bit. Save for what ? To be taxed later on? They’ll be coming after it make no mistake. Just give them time.

Where do you sign up for the income that isn't fixed? Would that just be commission based jobs?

Take that free time on your hands and stalk a politician with that super fancy phone.

Get some good shite. Form a llc in another state. Store digitally and copies in a deposit box registered to that llc. Name a friendly journalist as officer of your llc.

Extort said poltician.

Move to Turkey.
