Answer 1

I will get slimmer for sure.

I hope the next president can do something but I doubt it.

Answer 2

I have a membership at a Sam's club,I often shop for two weeks in advance so that I can save money.Watch for sales on things you use.Avoid taking several trips,do all your errands on one trip to save gas-drive at 50-55 it really saves gas.No more junk or name brands they are way too expensive.Store brands are for the most part just as good.Cut out unnecessary shopping-if you do not need it do not buy it.These are things I have done,and they work.GOD-bless and remember it is just going to get worse,the bible warns us of that.Get ready for the coming of the LORD.

Answer 3

Well, I know I'm being very selective as to what I purchase. Me and several of my friends are trying to grow their own vegetables and herbs to supplement their groceries. It's really not too hard to do in containers.

Answer 4

We started a neighborhood over production program.  Nearly all of us grow some veggies, citrus, avocado, fruit, etc. in our gardens and one neighbor even has a chicken coop.  When ever I over produce something and have enough for my own needs and to freeze, I started bringing my excesses to my neighbors.  Then they started to do the same with what they over produce.  It saves us all a little money, gives us a chance to catch up with each other and gives us a different variety of fruits and veggies than we grow ourselves.  The sad part is that in our area the food banks are begging for food donations because their donations are really low with the high price of gas and food.

Answer 5

A life of opulence and prosperity has been an illusion fueled by Madison avenue and the credit industry.  The truth is that most of us are drowning in 3 lifetimes worth of debt.  Those flashy cars, big houses, fancy vacations and every new gadget - most everything we have - are funded by credit.  Now that we are maxed out of credit we will all have to come to terms with the reality of our actual net worth.
