We are trying to save more and have cut back on major purchases (i.e, new car--will just drive the old Caravan into the ground). Luckily we are still employed, but we expect lean times ahead (and hopefully we'll remain employed).
I now don't turn the volume up as much when I'm listening to music as I don't want to use up too many batteries or electricity. It might be time to invest in rechargeable 9 volt batteries. I only listen to short albums to conserve power. I'm back to using my tube amp because I can use is as a space heater and roast hotdogs. I've unplugged my subwoofer in my stereo kit. If my kids were still in diapers, I'd only change 'em once a week. Instead of enjoying a nice bottle of red wine, I just sniff the cork and then re-cork the bottle. If I were still a smoker (quit about 13 years ago), I'd only smoke dogends (that I find in ashtrays or on the sidewalk or gutter) and frequent places with lots of second hand smoke. I no longer shave. I no longer give my dogs bones to chew, as I now chew them myself.
Hi ho!
