History of this group, and ideas

6. I always hated those responses from folks who just don't get it.

New job? What, like we aren't looking?

Move to where the jobs are. With what money? Remember the no/low-paying job thing?

Ride a bike to work. On a rural highway, with logging trucks, dump trucks and good ol' boys driving like they're at a Nascar track? Are you serious?

Eat cheaper. How much cheaper can you get than rice and beans? Ramen noodles? Spaghetti with no meat? Soup with no meat? And forget that farmer's markets shit. They are so expensive around here, I don't even look at them when I drive by.

Buy good clothes and make them last. Again, with what money? I'd much rather have nice clothes that last, rather than whatever I'm lucky enough to get (which I make last for years, anyway).

Though, if you can keep up with a good thrift store or two, you can often find quality clothes. And truth be told, most of the "good" clothes I see aren't any better made than the $5 tees and cheap jeans at Wal Mart.
