Sorry, I should have elaborated more.

We don't carry credit card debt. We have decided what we could live with and without as far as possessions. We have a small area for a veggie garden. We do have some fruit trees. We would split a cow with relatives for meat. We would definitely cut back on all the junk food. Wear sweaters in winter to save on heating. Open the windows and turn the ceiling fans on high in the summer. Drive the most economic vehicle and carpool, plan trips better. Drive my scooter instead of my truck. Drink a lot more water and walk more. I guess I would be in better shape. Fix things rather than replace. We did build a shop before we built our house just for that reason.
