Biting The Bullet - Cutting Expenses

By
Real Estate Agent with Equity Fifty Five Realty, LLC

Biting the bullet - cutting expenses.

I HOPE YOU WILL PARTICIPATE AND DO YOUR PART The President ordered the cabinet to cut $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget. I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I usually spend about $3000 a month on gasoline, groceries, household expenses, utilities, etc., but it's time to get out the budget cutting axe, go through my expenses, and cut back like a true American. I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio, 1/35,000 of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $3000 a month; I'm going to have to cut that number by almost nine cents. Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $2999.91, but that's what sacrifice is all about. I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries.

Excellent, Paul.  Showing the absurdity of the absurd by being absurd.  You are dead on the money.  It's another Washington farce!
