What are you doing to help the economy?

Spending extra $ on food storage food here.

We've done a lot of upgrades to our house & land infrastructure this year. But we were going to do them anyway.

I keep buying gas to fill up my beast of a truck so I can drive to work and pay taxes.
Diesel Jetta, here I come!

What are you doing to help the economy

Nothing. It's done nothing for me. We have no debt except for a 60K mortgage on our home and land, worth about $250K. We never buy things we cant afford and believe me, we rarely buy anything except chicken feed and food for us. I'm staying on my hill inside my fence and minding my own business and just trying to stay afloat. So sue me, but I just dont care. It cant be fixed now it's such a confuzzled mess.
I've never owned a new car. Our long ago paid-for vehicles are a 96 and 94. Never had my nails done (oh geez, what a joke for a do it yourselfer like me!), we buy cheap clothes, dont have cell phones and soon satellite TV is going completely for us. We dont use heat or A/C or leave lights on, but our bills are too high anyway, thanks TVA. My porch roof leaks badly and we cant afford to fix it. Guess it will eventually fall in on that side. I shop at flea markets and thrift stores. The world is exploding around me and I feel just fine doing nothing about it. I didnt create it and I cant fix it. I spent my life making responsible decisions and others didn't so why should I pay for their stupidity?

I'll go back to my own little chicken-inhabited world now, with my fingers in my ears and stay far away from politics and the news. I'm done with politics today. Personally, I think it does not matter who becomes President, not really. Nothing this big can be fixed in 4 years, no matter who is in office.

* We replaced our 2O year old film camera with 2 new digital cameras out of the house money. And paid a year of storage prepping for our move. Biggest lux purchases we've made in years. Think it will help??

Are you reading my mind? Because that's pretty much what I was thinking...

I recently bought a new stove from the local appliance store. It is hard for them to compete against the big box stores but they do, and always have gone the extra mile for the customer.
