Especially oil. Which should have addressed this in the 70's and 80' with alternatives. The former admistration did nothing to encourge less spending, alternatives or living a more frugal life. I have my own business live in a reasonable house and have a large garden. I live near a large metro area but eat at home read(library books)etc. But the cost of health care, fuel(I rarely have the A/C on. We live in Ok and I have allergys so I have to use it occasionally. So any way we all have to learn to compromise and live more frugally.Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-26625320471624136522009-05-29T10:13:52.919-07:002009-05-29T10:13:52.919-07:00Patrice, you have to take into account the example...Patrice, you have to take into account the example that is being set by our leaders in Washington. I guess if more than half of the voters elected Obama, at least that amount agree with his policies of pay off your debt by borrowing. <br />We don't live quite like you and Don, but we do have everything we have paid for..everything, and we grow a big veggie garden that keeps us in nutritional food throughout the year, thanks to our two freezers and canning jars. We do still eat out occasionally, but to be honest, I much prefer the home cooked meals that both I and my wife make.<br /><br />I take my hat off to you for doing what you are doing. I hope that if and when the time comes, that we too will be alble to survive on our own.<br /><br />I would definitely submit this column to WND!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
