Reply #13: LOL. I do have a few consignment stores where I sell. Their business is up 75%! [View All]

Thanks for the joke!

I can tell you this -- I've turned my brain around to being very thrifty.

We're in a good place -- farmers' markets nearby, summer weather is not too hot, boutique thrift stores in the next town, the only thing I buy new is New Balance sneakers (I have wide feet...). Our only splurge is on time share travel, but we're going thrifty again when we get there.

I've had my old clothes for such a long time they are actually like new again. (Big bright prints that look exactly like what the fashionistas are suggesting for this year!)

Warm regards,
