I cherish those times. I think, switching subjects, that few in power understand (or care) how many Americans are in similar circumstances to yours. I know a number of my Facebook friends certainly do not.

Usually we buy the best used vehicle we can afford when we need one. Some didn't last a month, lol! That was when we were younger. It doesn't pay to go into deep debt. It's like digging yourself a hole.<br />I don't know about the $15 minimum wage. It would make the $23 that DH makes as a skilled 20 year journeyman feel like a slap in the face. As it is, about half the time (or more) there are no jobs for him. One year, he only worked 4 months. Unemployment barely covers health insurance and it's the law, you have to carry insurance. I think a higher minimum wage would kill the want to be a skilled worker, why bother, if a kid slapping burgers together makes nearly the same and it's steady? I'm just saying ... (He's already had to take a pay cut because of the economy.)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743921972328074980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-78222912963827146562016-07-29T05:08:59.754-07:002016-07-29T05:08:59.754-07:00I manage okay on 1020 a month.I manage okay on 1020 a month.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-35108197757420031142016-07-29T02:38:56.536-07:002016-07-29T02:38:56.536-07:00Hari OM

This of course means, that I have to make lots of thrifty decisions and eat into very meager savings. As you say, however, somehow the ends do meet. Most of the time. I think when forced to live on such a budget, creativity comes into the equation and that is often lost by those who do not have to think about all the pennies to the same extent. I do have the great advantage of my home being all paid up. No rent to worry - though the bills keep on coming!!! <br /><br />Have been in the position of buying for my clients at times - and like you have had moments wondering what the folks in the queue might be thinking about the choices!

Including a few dollars for savings, it builds up and then I pay the dentist or by some books I've been wanting. Mostly I just leave it to build up for emergency money. I had to use it recently when my daughter's fridge broke down, I bought her a new one, now I have to start over. I never buy anything on credit. My income is under $20,000.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-26413655070872868572016-07-28T23:13:09.605-07:002016-07-28T23:13:09.605-07:00It's good to budget and live within your means...It's good to budget and live within your means!Salma - The Write Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612970808613273040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-20172056395393938062016-07-28T21:34:48.213-07:002016-07-28T21:34:48.213-07:00Living in the city, there are many expenses.
