    If you can’t afford it then don’t and don’t feel bad about it. If you can then you probably should.

      Or start learning to go without…the way things are going it’s almost inevitable that many will need to do this regardless of if they choose too or not. Might as well start adjusting yourself and seeing needs vs wants and act accordingly. Shits gonna get much worse before it gets better

          I am disabled. I cook from scratch every day. My kids complain that they live in an ingredient household but they also can cook at 10 and 12 years old.

          They just have to start learning to live like we, the actual poor people, have been living all along.

        100%. People haven’t seen nothing yet. Good time to start learning what really needs are. People have no idea anymore and don’t even realize where they blow their money.

      Yup, everyone should be acting within their means and not going into debt supporting domestic businesses.
