(1,239 posts)Suposedly the thinking is that todays hamburger is yesterday steak. For many its todays dogfood is yesterdays hamburger. For energy you just carpool or put on a jacket. For housing its sell if you own or move into a cheaper place if you rent. You can go from a house to a shed to a freeway bridge. See there is always a choice. If the choice is food or you medicine then pick one - again you had a choice. I find the thinking heartless and not realistic. Recently on CNN they had a suposed "expert" gal saying the same thing. You know like stop eating out and having your nails done and no more movies and splurging on luxuries. And then there is the republican candidate who said just stop spending so much of your money on cell phones right? NO advice for anyone who has already stopped all of those things and is continuing to sink.
