What we retirees have left after paying bills, then that is all there is to live on. My soc.sec. checks will start in June and I bet I have mentally spent that first check 3 times! I heard our LQS was having a sale on the Asian panels I love so I stopped on the way home and bought a few more to add to the pile I already have. She did have some fabric for $10.15/yd and I had purchased the same fabric on sale at Connecting Threads for $2.96/yd. At those prices I can't afford to help her stay open.
