"Lifestyles of the Poor and Broke" by Dewaine Wakeman

 

Thrift – its amazing what you can do.

Internet? (We all can do that.)

Exercise? (We all can do that too. Who needs a health club membership?)

Transportation (We all can do that - several ways)

Shelter (We all can find our means I suppose if we are smart about it.)

We can have everything a responsible adult can have or a homeless person

could enjoy if we are careful, this is still America after all.

So who am I? I’m many of you. I’m your neighbor.

Won’t you be my neighbor? 

I’m really good at getting by.

Let’s start with exercise:

Bicycle or walk? ( no gasoline or auto insurance needed)

Cutting firewood (no fuel bills – fire up the wood stove, campfires work too if you live in the deep south).

Entertainment? There’s digital televison, you either get the signal or you won't. Btw it’s crystal clear nowadays should you be lucky enough to receive the signal.

Internet? No problem there’s always the library, tapping a neighbor’s wi-fi, building a wi-fi hotspots antenna etc., squatting at the local coffee shop etc. etc.

Bottom line: We don’t always need what we think we need. All of us can do great things if we try.

And, if we cannot do great things (right now) we can at least, ‘get by’...

How about you?

Are you getting by?
