  1.  @pjg_77 use the money wisely. Harder times are coming.

  2. As long as the electric works.

  3. Find another person, perhaps a friend, to split the utility bills. I understand about privacy though. Perhaps you could teach an art class? Air B n B? Host an art retreat? I loved that book, the Moon Spinners, by the way.

  4. I think that’s a good idea, actually. Sell what you don’t need. With less stress, you can think more clearly and consider side businesses. You are so fortunate to still have your mother. I miss mine so much. Good luck out there. Save up to buy land outright is my best advice.

  5.  @lucydawson1344  you can make pet food from scratch. Healthier and saves money on vet bills. The longest lived dog was fed the same food as his owners. Age 31.

  6. My grandparents were children in the Great Depression. It definitely scarred them for life.

  7. Good reminder.

  8. One good meal a day is enough. Tea makes you feel like you’ve had something at other times.

  9. The UN is not a friend to humanity. They want 15 minute cities, etc.

  10. They made a generation crazy with the plandemic.

  11. Heck, buy that house in the country. The price is right. Sounds tempting to me.

  12. I hope he gets help with his mental health. There are many organizations. I wish I could help.

  13. Better to talk to your local churches. They know who really needs help. Better to help just one person or an elderly couple. It’s more personal.

  14. They are the replacements.

  15. You can use food dye. Cheap.

  16. I heat the water and put it in a thermos.

  17. Read the book Nickled and Dimed. She tried living the way the lowest paid working class do. A more recent book is Maid. The memoir of a single mother working and coping with the system. Or just ask any of us who live in vehicles and work more than full time.

  18.  @TheA8lee true.

  19. The leaders just want us dead.

  20. Look into alternative health practitioners. I used to have RA. Totally gone now.

  21. How long can you stay as a tourist?

  22.  @MCDONALD6969 you can get TVs for free. People are always trying to give me one every time they get new ones. They have a tv in nearly every room. However I don’t need one.

  23. In the uS, they just offer you a tent. I feel for you.

  24. Could you manage van life? There are people living out of cars on BLM land here- there is also Slab City. No rent. Food banks. They follow the good weather.

  25. She was married. Her comment is up above.

  26. Could a British person collect their usual retirement benefits if they lived in a cheaper country? Like in South America somewhere?

  27.  @jacquelinelam3022 a local grocery near Seattle has an area set aside for bruised fruit and vegetables - it’s bagged up as $1 a bag. I always check that bin and the 50% off area. There are loads of fruit trees and grape vines that don’t get picked. Just ask owners for permission. If you get a book on wild foraging, you’ll find lots of super nutritious plants. Nettle is a super food and cooks up just like spinach. Any greens can be made into pesto, store in freezer until you need it.

  28. Or importing millions of foreigners who don’t work and get housing forever.

  29. Plan ahead for harder times while you can.

  30. Look into boosting your health - get out in sunshine or take Vitamin d every day. A lot of depression is helped by nutrition and just walking for exercise.

  31. Doing side hustles off the books- that’s the way to get by.

  32.  @m.g.3013 you putt water and soap in a five gallon bucket, use a rubber plunger 🪠 to wash then rinse the clothes- There are cheap washing machines that you can use in a similar way- you close the device, then crank the handle so it tumbles like an electric machine. Easier to use in a dry climate though.
