Vanity: Reduce Personal Spending including Christmas items, Until Taxmaggedon is resolved
vanity | October 2, 2012 | Steelers6

Posted on 10/02/2012 9:44:21 PM PDT by Steelers6

I believe conservatives should be preparing for what is less than 3 months away. We need to be in the political fight with our resources, not wasting on entertainment, vacations to blue states and cities, consumer goods like IPhone. One, if Obama is reelected do you think any of those things are going to matter. Two, be preparing for the huge tax increase that is coming so why would you want to buying Christmas gifts with credit cards 20% interest rates especially in October. I'm talking about spending on needs not wants, if something breaks and you have to fix it then do so. I'm talking about wants spending like new cars when the one you have works fine, luxury items, etc.

Glad to see this kind of post. Kudos!
DON’T support Hollywood crap. Rent old movies that teach morals and scruples.

Don’t visit (with your hard earned dollars) blue states that support abortion and gay marriage. Stay home and enjoy what the good LORD blessed you with in your own back yard.

Don't worry about your grandkids too much. Wealth can be the biggest curse of all. Now they are learning the things that are truly important.

Almost 30 years ago, when I was in college, I remember reading that the highest incidence of diabetes was in Kuwait - which at the time has the highest per-capita income.

Watch an episode of "Call of the Wildman" on the Animal Channel, and you'll see what's really needed to be happy. :)

Who do you have, is it low price. I used to have dial up for like 10 to 12 a month, but the thing wouldn’t move.

We went to see 2016. Large popcorn was only $3.50, a bottle of water was $5.75 but a “bigger than you can buy in New York drink” was only $2.50. That particular Monday afternoon was super savers for seniors. Sometimes it’s nice to be old.

This will only hurt a lot of innocent people, probably even your own family members and friends if they own small businesses or work for one.

>> consumer goods like IPhone

iPhone?

That’s a productivity tool. How about turning off the TV?
