Participant“I doubt I’ll go to any this year because money is so tight,” Scott, 21, said as he waited for Clinton to speak.
Is he talking about seeing the doctor, or maybe a dentist, nope. Maybe he means classes to advance his career. nope. Maybe he means job interviews outa the area that may require him to move. Nuhhuh.
What is he talking about you ask? Road trips with his buddies to basketball games. Oh No! you say, that is the 11th admendment to the constitution. Now our civil liberties, what other travisty may befall these poor, oppressed people? Victoms, victoms I say! They may even have to give up gambling at the local casino or buying lottery tickets. I just cant take it, i am gonna go cry myself to sleep tonight.April 2, 2008 at 5:45 PM #180259Participant“I doubt I’ll go to any this year because money is so tight,” Scott, 21, said as he waited for Clinton to speak.

…I agree completely. We have so much that we take for granted. People should try traveling somewhere that has little or no air conditioning, no ice-cold drinks or ice cubes, and such inconveniences as having to walk or open doors manually or climb stairs. It seems that the more “modern” we get the fatter and lazier and whinier we get.
A huge economic downturn might make us healthier! We’ll eat less, drive less, and get more exercise!
I’m tight but not that tight, when it comes to saving money that is. I won’t drive a car without air conditioning or heat, that’s going too far. However, I do drive a real economy car. I have a Scion XB and I love that thing. Bought it two years away from completing graduate school. It’s made by Toyota, comfortable and that things gets great gas mileage. I could have gotten a SUV, but I was thinking about gas mileage even back then. Would I like more power? Yes, I would. Do I eventually want something a little more luxurious? Yes, I do. But, I like my little cute car and it’s fine for now as I’m just starting my career.
As for food, I’d say yeah, Americans should cut down on the restaurant food. Not cut out, just down. You can be creative with meals and you can trust the food a lot more than what you’d fine in a restaurant. You can do fresh and healthy, season it to your taste and be happy. 🙂
About the lattes, getting them every morning really is a waste of money, unless you’re rich. I indulge sometimes, but 99% of the time, I just drink the good coffee from my machine here at home.

ParticipantGrowing up during the “energy crisis” days of the ’70s, we were urged to keep the thermostat at 65 during the day, even lower at night. My (miserly) parents complied enthusiastically. To this day my breath fogs up at night during holiday visits.
