    I've been unemployed for two months now:

    No eating out
    Ramen noodles all the time
    Purchases limited to gas and bills
    No 7K rpm blasts in the E30

    You can probably tell which I miss most. Since gas prices have been falling like a stone, I'm in better standings...

    I'll have a job by this week, I decided if I can't find a legit full time job I'll go back to doing bullshit jobs until I find something that works.

    House and dogsitting in major cities are easy gigs that make good money if you work at it, though thats not exactly what I'll be doing. the D.C. area has tons of people who need those services.

            I've done nothing to change spending. I'm just doing what I want. I mean I'm no idiot about finances. Been spending mostly on the e30, some new clothes (its been about a year since I've bought anything), food/drinks with GF, and whatever.

            Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

              Cigs and alcohol are already taxed like crazy. 2/3rd's of the cost of a pack of cigs is tax.

                Honestly? Nothing.

                I moved to california, my rent went up by 700$ a month from what it was in washington. I eat out when I want to, I buy anything I want, I go grocery shopping once a week and buy the usual stuff I get every week, I drive where I want, when I want, and I still am not in debt and have money to save.

                Life's great! I'm doing my part to turn the economy around, why aren't you, pussies! :D

                        I have started off with:

                        -Driving less (spontaneous night drives are now past tense)
                        - Renting less movies :(
                        - Eating out less :( :(

                        Thank God that the gas prices are down to € 1.20 for RON95 ; a price I last saw in 2004.

                            Well you did take on a (better) job didnt you.? :D
                            For me it's status quo. Aside from cost of living increases.

                              Look on the bright side. You can be like the rest of the hillbilly losers and just drink coors light in your backyard, with your cut off shorts and wife baeter.

                                the shoe store is still making money when you go on your vacations. when you have to shut down an empire like mine to go on vacation there are hundreds of people thrown into chaos and financial hardship

                                Next time you have your dick stuck in somebody's ass and go to the ER to have it removed I'll make sure the wife ignores you.
