Good Afternoon Mylot

United States
December 21, 2024 12:23pm CST
How is your Saturday, it is really cold today, and I am really busy. I have some pain in my back when I stand too long, when I feel it, I get off of my feet until it subsides. I made a to do list, and I am doing what is not on it, but what I am doing is equally important. I plan to make next year, if God permits to be as frugal as I can. I'm cleaning out cupboards to start for my new quest. I'm reading everthing I can on frugality I can and acting on it. I've been doing it about 2 months, and see a difference. Gotta go. Hope to see you all later.

I know that problem, back pain when you stand too long. I have a cane that “converts” into a stool for when I have to stand in line at the check-out counter or someplace. I also have a walker for it, but thank God I haven’t had to pull that out and use it yet. Good luck in your frugality quest!

You have a great start there with the list. I find that when i make a list of things to do, I don't forget something!

The list helped, but I did something not on the list, but it was much needed. But I'll keep trying.

Learning everything I possibly can, believe I need it. Things are tough all over.

I had back surgery a couple of decades ago and my back hates me once in a while. I´m back from the hospital now and it seems that my back wanted to stay there.

@popciclecold I have discovered that it is not easy to be near 80 years of age.

Have you ever heard of Mr. Money Mustache? He's a very popular guy with a great website about frugality.

I think it would depress me to be too frugal, but I have resolved to get my financial house in order too. Not that it so bad now, but a large and important expense would cause a problem. There is a lot of room for improvement.

I know what you mean. It has gotten to the point, I know there has to be a better, and I'm finding out it is.

Hope your back feels better! It does pay off to be as frugal as possible. I'm going to try to clear and redo the cupboards in the next couple weeks . . . so much to do!!

That is all you can do is get off of your feet until the pain is gone.

So I am learning. Wasn't taught in early life, but my family are late bloomers. So glad I'm learning at all.
