as well as more exercise as bikes and horses will be ridden.

~~ the price of feed/hay is going up along with everything else combined with a hay shortage in some parts of the country ~~ I doubt horsekeeping is going to be high on the list. There are serious concerns that there will too many horses abandoned / neglected if this continues.

Get some good shoes.​

I have nothing to complain about, not a single thing in the world.

Sorry, I guess that I wasn't very clear about that remark being a joke, not meant to be taken literally.

I only pointed it out because there's a lot of misinformation floating around here.

Here is a fun little wealth tracker:

http://www.globalrichlist.com/index.php

Apparently I am the 155,652,174 richest person in the world, which puts me in the TOP 2.59% richest people in the world!

My SO is the 50,487,023 richest person in the world which puts him in the TOP 0.84% richest people in the world.

My money woes are so incredibly insignificant compared to the rest of the world.

I'm gonna go buy more chickens now!!

WOO HOOO!

10,493,690! Top .17 %!

So why am I driving a rusty pick-up truck and wearing holey underwear?!

 

[texasreb]

Oblio13,

Now that you know you can afford it, take a rattle can to that truck and buy some new underwear. The top .17th richest person in the world should in no way be wearing holey undies!

That's really no way to determine wealth or lack thereof.

Example: a New Yorker (New York CITY) earning 75,000/year wouldn't be considered "rich" by standard of living. Now, somebody living in Davidson Tennessee making 75,000/year would be super-rich by standard of living.

But by any standard, even the "bums" on our streets have more wealth than most of the world. How do I know, they have smokes, beer and a dog.
