we’ve had a pretty low std of living anyway and it’s not that bad! no a/c in summers (take a shower!), no heat in the winter (put ona damn sweater), some gardening, use the library, talk for entertainment, very little meat, cheap wine, yard sales for lesireu/kid clothing, don’t eat out much, drive real old cars and old bicycles, rent a dumpy old place…i’ve been contracted for years and i’ve been having a good time. it’s gonna be all right! might even be better!!! never lost the pride…
