Living Life On The Cheap

One of life's great challenges today, is how to get by on whatever you have, but what if, you have very little or absolutely nothing at all? Could you still get by? I see the homeless everywhere I travel in the United States and through out the places I frequent abroad, and for the life of me, I wonder to the point of staring, making assumptions of how they get on from one day to the next.

I wonder, what are they doing to make ends meet? Many of these questions of course go unanswered, because for me and many others, we tend to have a busy life, so don't have a lot of time to just stand around and become casual observers?

Of course, you don't want to observe too casually too often, these days, less someone think that you're a stalker or something. You never know what someone is thinking, unless of course they're blogging or something like that, I guess. Looking back in hindsight, you know what? Really now, very few people in America have actually nothing. They may think they have nothing, but compare what they have and/or perceive they don't have, to other countries, we actually have a grand life here in the U.S.A..

Shucks, we have so many opportunities here in American that we overdose on it! We overdose to the point, that we become numb to the opportunities. We go about our days, weeks, months and years too busy to be bothered to even think much about the opportunities American affords us. I know because I back in America and I'm sitting here listening to Classical Music that I barely recognize, and the volume is just loud enough to break my chain of thought. The laptop is a corporate lease return, meaning I got it for a third of the price of a new one and could've even gotten nearly free, if I had taken the time to participate in some market surveys and join some trial programs. The wi-fi is free, yeah really free, because I was going to purchase something to sip on, and well, there was the coffee shop that just happened to have free wi-fi. I don't really drink coffee, but the coffee is cheaper than the fountain drink, so we order coffee and live with the small coffee cup that is made of the same styrofoam as the fountain drink cups. Plus, the fountain drink dispenser is located in an area that promotes as many refills as you like. Oh, did I mention that there are plenty of electrical outlets. Surge protectors are optional and free with a rebate from time-to-time from who?
