plan a: don’t be poor
plan b: kill myself
I have only known recession, when do I get to experience something else?
Probably The Winchester.
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. 😂
Plant more root vegetables.
Yep, that’s the whole plan.
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!
Plans? Sir, you’ve misjudged me.
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
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
I’m already homeless and I’ve got an okay job. So I either I keep living like I do or things become too expensive and I die.
care to expand a little? interesting (the homeless and jobful part)
Die, mostly.
A YouTuber reminded me that in the 80’s we were all told we would die in a firey radioactive blast from Russia or slowly for starvation as the smoke from millions of city sized fires chokes the sun out of photosynthesis entirely, so…. Stil planning on one of those.
What if I just…don’t? I didn’t get through the last three, why should I get through this one?
Keep working, reduce consumption of luxuries. I will still spend money, probably more than during good times. Because its important to keep spending so demand doesnt implode. I’ll keep spending at my favourite restaurants, cafes and clubs because i want them to survive. My cost cutting will be on electronics and subscription services and things from overseas.
Starve
