Spending money on stuff is the essence of American existence. When you stop doing it, America will die.

How do you manage to exist without spending money? How are you online? Do you live at a library or something?

You can cut back heavily without cutting everything. Doing my part to kill capitalism. Currently playing my part against all branded food/drink products and fabric softener.

I'm not American .... I'm in Canada in northern Ontario ... we don't have kids so I have a bit of extra cash, plus I grew up poor so I know what this holiday means to many kids, especially in my area where families don't have a lot, especially these days.
