Fuck the crisis

So I am one of the new poor. Mostly having earned loads of money the past few years, and spent it, it's a bit weird. All of a sudden I have to rethink what I spend. And how I spend. And try very hard NOT to spend. But to save. That being a word I hardly know. How do you save? What do you save? I interesed look at offers in the supermarket and decide to go for the nice stuff. Which has nothing to do with save. I was never taught how to live on a budget. Money has always suprised me. Lots of it and shortage as well. So, 2010 looks like a poor year. I have to sell my SUV. I have to clean out my wardrobe. I have to shop at the poor people's side of town. Which means dressing appropriate. Old scruffy jeans. Dirty boots. Dirty look. No fancy earrings. No designer coat. I only have designer coats. That's a problem. I will have to go out shopping. For something ugly and cheap. Nothing to do with save..
