I agree; it is easy to abide by the FReeper boycott list when there is no more discretionary income. I could run up more debt (I have available credit), but I’d rather pay down what I have and will just have to live with the consequences of my selfishness on our consumer-driven economy.

I have a car mechanic and dentist who would both love to make thousands off of me; they can wait.

We are on the opposite side, old, house paid for, not worth the price it should be, neighborhood going to the bad side, and we want no more debt. Both cars are paid for. Van is nearing 100K miles..it is in great shape, worth the $2K it would take to get it back up to snuff. We do keep the house up to snuff as best 2 old people can. Our retirement income is slowly being eaten away with 0's new taxes and additional cost to Tricare For Life...retired over 65 retired Military secondary health ins. Then you add in no COLA's for 2 years, and raises to Medicare premiums, food, fuel, electric, etc. and your income has suddenly nosed dived into low income, but not low enough for the government to demand MORE taxes.

We are SLAVES to the government for 6 months of the year so they can live lavish life styles. Friends don't let friends vote for RINOS!
