The vote failed, but they are sure to re-vote. Honestly, I still think they will pass something. I truly don’t think that this is over….
As to your question…I am not doing anything in particular different. That is to say, I was already frugal etc. so there isn’t really anything left to tighten, so to speak….
I’m putting my savings budget into renewable energy stocks, instead of letting the Fortune 500 take any more. I’d rather lose it honorably than have it stolen and used for more weapons.
I am completely debt free because I don’t believe in living beyond my means, so I don’t worry too much about things. My house is paid off, and the only bills I have are the typical electric, phone etc.
My only investment is in a company that will be solid throughout this mess, and I don’t have my entire life savings tied up in it, so I think I’ll be okay in the long run.
