Food is expensive period. Cut back here and you're stuck eating can foods with loads of salt, sugar and chemicals. Utilities, home heating are expensive and are a requirement. Telephone or Cell phone are a requirement today. So what are you left with to cut back? Entertainment? cable? Clothing?
Come on..
Dahon, I'm suprized at you
and disappointed
that you are being so narrow minded.
Your point quoted just reeked with "everybody else can suffer but not me" so I suggest that you
take time to learn the ways of the past when people didn't have and didn't need the modern
gee whiz stuff we take for granted today. There IS life without ALL of the modern stuff of today.
