How I am going to rebel [View All]

[Maddy McCall]

I'm keeping my money at home--I am cutting way back on consumption of everything.

I don't care if my clothes are out of style...I am NOT buying any new clothes until the ones I own are threadbare or until my son outgrows the ones he now has.

I will quit eating out. I will shop at the Kroger and buy as little as I need to get by on. I'll take a sandwich to work. No dinners out--I'll cook at home.

I'm going to weatherstrip/proof my house so that I don't have to buy the usual two-thousand-dollars worth of propane we usually use each winter. I'm turning the AC off unless it's so damned hot I have to cut it on.

I am not taking trips anywhere that aren't absolutely necessary.

I am NOT making any more impulse purchases. I am cutting my Directv back to the bare bones minimum package and am doing no more pay-per-views.

I am not going to just boycott Republican businesses...I am changing my lifestyle completely. No new ANYTHING that I don't absolutely have to have.

Anyone else made this decision, too? I will not participate in any way in any kind of a Bush "economic recovery."
