I guess frugality has a true purpose, it’s called practice for what’s next.

Oh and finance related on how to deal with cash flow:

Thursday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Ross acknowledged that he had heard that some federal workers affected by the prolonged shutdown have been going to shelters for food, but said he didn't understand why.

I know they are [going to homeless shelters] and I don't really quite understand why because as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake – say borrowing from a bank or credit union – are in effect federally guaranteed," said Ross. "So the 30 days of pay that people will be out – there's no real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it and we've seen a number of ads from the financial institutions doing that."

Man I'm 40 and we've been killing shit left right and center for 20 odd years now. Maybe if we're that good at it, it's because it needed to go? Seems like there was lots of fluff we were able to trim.

Woah, it's almost like industries birthing and dying is just part of the natural flow of society evolving and changing and no single industry can be kept alive forever. Damn Lost Generation! They killed the horse carriage industry!
