    Ugh this wouldn't last me a week. Strippers are expensive!!

    Maybe they'll accept coupons.

    trust me... you don't want the ones that accept coupons

    Lower your standards. Gotta make the money last.

    When I was unemployed for 9 months in 2012, I was so glad I could afford to be choosy.

    I did go into that situation with no children, no debt, and low rent.

    I put aside 6 months but had to increase that amount because the cost of living went up so much. About 25% around here.

    I got a quarter a penny and some lint

    Lint can be quite valuable.

    That being said.....

    The older I get, the less I care about material stuff. Having a financial cushion is smart and is much preferable to owing a lot of gear that just weighs you down. Life is a journey; travel light.
