I have only known recession, when do I get to experience something else?
plan a: don’t be poor
plan b: kill myself
Probably getting a divorce, losing the kids and the dog, and getting blown up by a drone being piloted by a furry in the coming resource wars.
I pictured you from a battlefield camera drone POV and you are lugging a 5 gallon bucket of water through the rubble that used to be your neighborhood and suddenly a seeker death drone with furry cat ears whizzes overhead and drops a grenade. BLAM. Giant smoke cloud. A stream of water flows out from behind the dust cloud. Another brutal casualty of a filthy water hoarder. Serves you right for wanting to have drinking water.
Made me laugh, good one thanks. 😂
Do not spend money unless you really need those things. Live as a minimalist. It means some sort of isolation, but it is better than being homeless!
same way we live now? ( m and f couple)
debt free
electricity cost is near $0 (have a solar systems that grid feeds surplus electricity we’re paid for)
have an ecar and ebike we charge of said solar, so make our own fuel
live in a small rural community, lots of people DIY and grow their own food and swap/sell
have a free bus once a day to the nearby bigger city, use it on occasion for dentist/doctors appointments, or a day out in town
have a small acreage on the edge of town and get as much free beef as we want for letting the local farmer use it
have dozens of fruit trees around our house
my gf is a Chef who loves growing her own veg and fruit and cooks superb meals
have three years of expenses as cash
pay for water and local government taxes which is fine, get clean drinking water and the roads etc are repaired and we get a “free” library and “free” swimming pool out of it
plan? the last 2 people barely made it out or dint, jobs were getting scarcer in some industries for the last decade and the increasing reliance on jobs sites.
The same thing we do every recession, Pinky. Try to spend as little as possible on only the essentials and hope we don’t end up homeless.
Probably The Winchester.
Suicide?
None, I am already running on the existential minimum.
And I don’t see that changing in the next few years.
What if I just…don’t? I didn’t get through the last three, why should I get through this one?
same as last one. die.
you failed last time, didn’t you
Failed successfully
failed at something. not sure which counts as the failure tho
Plant more root vegetables.
Yep, that’s the whole plan.
Plans? Sir, you’ve misjudged me.
