I lost my waitressing/bartending job last year when the place I worked for 10 years closed. I made good money there, since then, I have only found a parttime minimum wage job. Living with out is my middle name, lol!
I coupon, and garden, plus pick wild berries, fruits, nuts, dandelion greens. I recyle anything I can get my hands on. Parents save their soda cans for me.
I am very careful with the electricity, turn everything off if I dont need it. I live in the country, so cold water is free, but I am still careful with the water, save rain water for the plants.
I very seldom drive anymore, just to work or help my Parents....anything else, like groceries or bank is done on the way home!
LOL, last time I ate out was a few YEARS ago....really....just would rather save my money for something I need.
Hugs, I know its hard, but you WILL get through, so hard right now for so many. I just keep being positive and Thankful for my home, family, and friends!
