A correction in our spending habits is long overdue.
My parents were both depression babies. It was their nature to budget wisely, not spend what they didn't have, and not buying what they didn't need. In these days of easy credit, we have gotten out of the habit of this.
Time to lock it down!

Stop ordering from delivery services. Hugely inflated cost and the delivery drivers get little of it. Conserve on gas by planning your trips efficiently.

Buy secondhand. Reuse, recycle. Don't buy a car unless you absolutely have to! Eat at home, economize, save your money. Say goodbye to Amazon. You spend too much there anyway. The site is designed to stroke your consumer desires. Don't fall for that. Rediscover the joys of the free library.

Buy secondhand. Reuse, recycle. Don't buy a car unless you absolutely have to. Make it last.
We need to go into financial lockdown mode. We do have the power of the purse. We have to learn to conserve, make do, get by with less. Americans have tightened their belts before and made it through fine

Lots of boycotts going on.
I have a better suggestion.
Stop buying anything you don't absolutely need until further notice. Whenever you can, shop local small businesses. Find your local farmers for eggs, produce, meat. If we are going to pay high prices, let's put it in small farmers pockets.

This sums it up well. It is inconceivable that people who call themselves 'christian' can align themselves with these oligarchs. They want their seat on the gravy train.
It deeply sickens me.
