No. No! I've got a plan!...
Being an unemployed Unix admin and having to live on unemployment, I've just revised my own personal economy:
1) My mortgage payment of 1300.00 has been reduced ( by me ) to 30.00. Hey if they don't like it, tough!
2) I drove to the convenience store today. Filled up the car ( 20.00 ) and got a pack of smokes ( 2.75) . I handed the guy 3 bucks and told him to keep the change. When he protested the total, I explained to him that because I'm having to scale back my economy, so would he.
3) I informed COBRA today that 562.00 per month is too much and that from now until I find another job, that I'll pay them 10.00 per month. This should be totally adequate.
4) I'm dropping my auto insurance since I haven't had an accident in 30 years. Seems fair to me.
5) Tomorrow I'm going shopping for clothing at Kohl's , I think. I'm going to pick out only items made in India and pay .10 each for them. This has to be a fair price since I'm sure it only cost .5 to produce there.
6) Once I've completed my wardrobe, I'm going to either Georgia Tech or University of Georgia and further my education. I think 50.00 a year is equitable.
See? No reason to change your lifestyle radically. Just spread the outsourcing effects around. I'm sure no one will argue with you . How could they? It's good for the economy, right? >:)
