I would guess that the average person would lose more in income then the savings gained.

I broke my leg in the back yard on the Ides of March. I won't be driving until mid May maybe. I'm saving a ton of money!
Thank You.
Just realized that as of March 29, I've owned that thing 27 years!
Guy I bought it from said his teenage daughter picked out the color.
I get lots of complements on that color, but personally I would have prefered darker blue.
Guess I ain't going to change it anytime soon though, being retired and feeding that thing Premium gas, even on occasion, cuts into my ammo purchases.
Is that a '71 or a '72?
When I was calculating my potential retirement I determined I would have a net loss of $20 a month. I said to myself, "Self, I think I can squeeze 20 bucks a month somewhere. We're out of here!"

Since retirement we are trying to save money. At the same time my wife is on a health kick. She exercises by riding her horse.
So far its working out well. Her horse has lost 15 pounds.

Chip, is that the proverbial "flat rock"?
I went out with a lady once that had the biker name Flat Rock. Guess how she got it?

I was planning to retire this year at 67, but this inflation is scaring the **** out of me. We have a diversified stock portfolio ( which made us nothing last year ) savings, and my military retirement, no debt except a little on the house.
At an ACTUAL 10 to 12 percent inflation rate for the foreseeable future, we could be in a bind in a couple of years.

That's it????
My old 2000 Excursion has a 44 gallon tank, and it's a diesel.....
I was telling folks recently that the highest I ever paid was $5.02/gallon back in 2008....
Well, had to fill up the other day and it was up to $5.36/gallon.... ugh....!!!!
I'll never get rid of the old girl, but she is eating a larger percentage of our food budget these days....

Do you shoe your mule yourself? I haven't worked up the
courage to more than trim a hoof now and then. These flint/
chert rocks in NW Arkansas seem to do a pretty good job of
keeping their hooves trimmed. And my mules see zero hard
use, so no need for shoes. I do have a couple of old mule
shoes hanging in the blacksmith shop just for days gone by.
