[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4160603, member: 15054"] You can make chopped BBQ or enchiladas out of any bird or critter. Learn to wipe your butt with minimal TP. I see a lot of waste there and it adds up. I have friends borrow money from me often but pay back with interest. Nice amount of chump change 10% payback or more. Walmart cell phone plan is under 27 a month for my wife's cell. I see some people paying 80+ for a plan that does the same thing. Believe it or not Synthetic engine oil will get you better MPG and basically pay for itself. Air those car tires up as that gets better MPG also. But you need to air them up where they wear evenly. The tire store will always put 32-35 psi in my corolla tires that call for a max of 44-51 psi and MPG takes a hit to the tune of 5 MPG. Little weak engines make a bigger difference running around on flats. Do not be a picky eater. You are eating for nourishment. Do not fix anything that is not broken. Wife wanted new counters in the house when we got it in 1998 Nothing wrong with the original 1974 counters. She did not get counter tops and that caramel colored fiberglass shower is still working just fine. The carpet is still in excellent shape because we clean a mess or stain on it as it happens. If your dog or pet ruins your carpet or trim or doors in the house that dumb animal will no longer be coming in the house. An animal is a huge expense some like to make them family pets and let them get away with murder. They are supposed to be useful. Cats eat mice and stay in the barn. Dogs protect the property. If it can't do that it needs to go. That is harsh I know but I see many people get more and more pets of all kinds but can't pay rent. Fix your mental situation that puts you into that frame of mind. Learn to fix things that are broken. Everything! Windows, Doors, cars, pants, socks, blender, sewing machine, toilet, busted pipe under the house, roofing, fence, concrete, trailer, guns, computer, appliances. Everything you use you can fix and there is easy to find information out there today that will help you along. I spent many days at the library and buying books mail order to know how to fix broken things. You need your health to be able to do these tasks so stay healthy. 350 lb guy is not likely to fit under the house or want to be up on the roof or under the hood of a vehicle sticking his big hand where it does not fit. Best have a good paying job to be able to pay "TheGuy" if you can't get it all done. [/QUOTE]
