thats what i do. i dont have any cable, satellite tv, i only have one phone and its for work. i share my internet. i obtain a lot of my items from ebay, dollor and thrift stores. make black diesel to help supplement my fuel costs, get my groceries from winco, rarely buy name brand items, etc.

i work hard at work to be able to maintain/keep my job. in a few years i was able to save enough to buy a foreclosure home. i turn my lights off when not in use, use an area heater for one room that i am in instead of central heating the whole house. dont waste water, and so on.

from this i am able to make ends meet. i am quite content to ride this one out. it sucks but it is more of how you manage your expenses.

dont let this one get the best of you.

I understand that.I have to have a phone for work, unfortunatly they dot pay bill, granted I don't need a smart phone but I don't use home Internet, I also, do the same with water and electric, but around here it's hard to find a decent place to live or rent that's not a complete **** hole and you have be worried about theft for cheap.and I'm not willing to risk my or my fiancée safety for that. I know what y'all are saying but I'm just venting, .

I've invest my money on precious metals "guns & bullets" cause the welfare zombies are going too go crazy if they don't get their government check.

and replace him with another dumb ***...

and what makes these guys candidates anyways? i guess it doesn't matter what your qualifications are anymore, as long as you have money you can become president.

four years is not enough time to repair a country, plenty to ruin it. you get a good guy in office and he runs out of time putting together policies and other actions that will help the USA, the next guy throws that all out and tries his own stuff and wrecks it for everyone. get a bunch of bozos and a few honest guys and the country will never recover.

when was the last good president? Roosevelt? Lincoln? Washington??? how many where there?

rant done.

Jason out...

if he gets voted in for another 4 years this country deserves everything that happens to it... for every human with common sense like those of us here, there is 15 with not enough common sense to get out of the rain..

we need to take over the government and re-write everything and start over for anything to happen. keeps getting more and more complicated.. we've elected jackasses before, we will do it again. we traded bush for obama? obama is a little worse.. whats next?!

fact, Illegal aliens were interviewed by Illinois news man, Illegal bragged of claiming 8 children in Juarez on his tax refund as dependents and they had never left Mexico.
Fact. I paid thousands last year and was legal.
Fact< I won't start my business back up until the rat bastard in office is gone and friendlier policy towards business is back in play.
Fact< Banks are avoiding loans to homes, businesses, and individuals and routing money they get from the Fed for 0% interest and investing in Tbills and CD's back to the government at a no risk 3%.
Fact< the fed is right now trying to make banks give high risk, low interest loans to organizations that made huge re-election contributions.
Fact> there is a new bill in the house trying to tax diesel at three times it's current rate introduced by Dems.
Fact> I already voted and wasn't for 4 more years of illegal aliens, higher taxes, big bird, bayonets, BS, and Killing Navy SEALS so it looks like somebody has a handle on the middle east.
