Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

It all comes down to the way our society shames people who are poor. It is definitely different to make a decision to live frugally and to be forced to do so. But don't get me wrong, I really am proud of how well I have learned to save money. It really isn't about frugality. I cannot put a finger on it, but you may have.

I already have worked my way through that odd sensation of being embarrassed. It just came over me at the time, and I had to work out why it happened. Free will definitely covers it.

As to finding another job soon, I am not optimistic about it. At 61 years old, I think most decent jobs will be out of my sight. But we will see. I will be fine, though, even if I can just find part time work. The only problem I foresee if health insurance costs. At least I know that I can live on very little money, and I don't have any dependents to worry about. I think that is what causes most people to feel a desperation that I am not feeling. (Well, I do have a cat, but as long as I keep him in food and clean the litter box, he doesn't ask for much. At least I don't have to think about how I will put clothes on his back and shoes on his feet.)
