I agree with you. At this point, though, what most Americans truly waste their money on is electronics and entertainment.
It’s good to know how to sew and can food, etc, but you can start saving money immediately by cancelling cable/satellite TV, using only prepaid cell phone service, etc.
Just about anything that gets paid in the form of a monthly bill and has a early cancellation penalty is crap.
I’m getting to HATE technology. And I’M AN ENGINEER! It’s too much, to fast. We are pretty bare bones. I have an mp3 player to download Mark Levin’s show. That’s about it. We have TV, internet, cell phones (I’d give the phones up if they brought back pay phones). That’s about it.
