I would, but raising three schoolaged kids. Fuck me, never thought this would happen to the world, I was not prepared. Should have had kids 5 years earlier or later…

I scaled back to only necessities for the last 2/5ths of last year, I’m still spending as little as I can on things that aren’t necessary for surviving, but I will admit to having starting going out to like bars festivals and concerts for 2026 when I’m not too depressed to do so. And I 100% support everyone else trying to starve the beast as best they can, I’m also telling as many people as will listen to enjoy the things they can right now, because all of our lives are about to become much much more difficult for the foreseeable future

Yeah, pretty much the same. This has slammed the door on purchasing. The only thing I bought was more garden soil and some seeds to have food I don’t have to buy at the store. Probably didn’t save anything due to the cost of the supplies, but I feel better about it being homegrown.
