We're doing okay on the farm/ranch game. Key is to pretend you are going broke and don't spend money unless you should.
Prices are down but my wife makes good money and we don't have kids. Very little debt and don't spend big money on 'recreational' items.
No new Tahoe and boat in the driveway. Don't go on trips or eat out. Easy to save that way.
Just try to buy stuff that helps makes me money. Fuuck depreciation on stupid chit.
My SIL and her two kids recently moved up here and it's been nice being able to help out and get them restarted on life.
I'd much rather spend money that way than get sucked into more random consumerism.
