I decided last night I’m definitely watching what I spend. Who knows what will sky-rocket in price. Health insurance, cost of goods because of tariffs, medication costs, etc. I’ll spend what I need to but no extras. I’m sure I’m not alone.

as I can not to spend big money, f*** the economy, let eat cake. I have military pension, teaching pension and ss and I will do my best not to buy from a republican company if I can avoid it. Good by amazon if I can find the item somewhere else.

$10,000 for the 2 of us is a chunk of change.

I will still plan to go to Hawaii, but other things might get canceled. I just don't know yet.
