Who else going to watch their spending more during the next four years? [View all]

Tightening the belt, spending as much as is reasonable only on essentials, not eating out, no major non-essential purchases, trips or cruises. Just save, save, save for four years like the banks and corporations who want to force this authoritarian clownshow on us have always said we should.

Not only is it a valid and potentially effective form of protest (much like a general strike), but for a lot of folks it is probably a very responsible personal financial decision.

Obviously it will be tested how viable such a motive can be, but any ideas should be considered for the next four years of the absolute bullshit we are about to endure.
