And some wonder why there have been MILLIONS of personal bankruptcies in
Canada and the U.S.A. over the past 10 years. In sobriety, I have learned
the importance of financial responsibility and planning.

Of course it goes without saying one must stay within legal
boundaries. Which include bankruptcies, even personal ones, though
they are always changing the rules on people.
I always regret when I had the debt in large enough amounts to make
bankruptcy a good way to go; I didn't do it! My character defects
kicked in and my brain wouldn't engage. I allowed my pride & ego and
what other people might think to get in the way, became hard headed
and wouldn't listen to wise people with sound advice / slipped into my
way or the highway routine.
Hell I could save a few bucks each month by making my beanie weanies
without the hotdogs, but hell then they just be pork n' beans! It's
like AA ... People say ... Ya put a buck in the basket in the 70's so
it ought to be 2 or 3 nowadays ... I just laugh and tell'em ... like
hell, back then they put out a good product, the *real* deal, my buddy
Sharx666 from araa way done convinced me to cut back on stuff I really
don't need, says yeah need to be responsibile, to plan ahead, says
people always thinkin' they got to have more than the other fellow ...
if I need to read a paragraph out of the BB / hell I got a library
card / I need to hear someone talk I can get a free audio file off the
internet and to top it off I ain't got to listen to some wanna never
gonna be *real* alcoholic ... I can listen to the *real* deal. What I
won't meet any new people ... well I thought the new person was the

Gimme a break, I know what kind of car you drive and where you live and get
entertained...I thought you were one of the finest examples of
"big-shot-ism" that I could learn from. At OUR St Albert meetings, the
"finest" cars get to park right in front of the door, and the "lesser" cars
park progressively further away down the street. I mean, if you can't brag
about years of sobriety, the least you can do is work your ass off, get a
big loan from the bank and show up at the meeting with a car that puts at
least another inch on your dick...

I try to be thrifty too, without being cheap. Like yourself, I'm getting
to an age where the carcass eventually will have difficulty keeping abreast
of the bank account expenditures, so I'm putting as much to the side as I

>I try to be thrifty too, without being cheap.
Now this I can understand .... but Sharx666's flipping the shit paper
over to use the other side ... dats just too shitty to merely save a
couple pennies.
My whole point with Sharx666 is a prudent reserve is great, but, and
there's always a But / is the simple fact except for bare basics these
days it's not too practical and realistic for those for whatever
reasons find themselves living paycheck to paycheck / or / eagle squat
to squat.
There are extremes at both end of the stick and bunches depends on
one's ability and means ... I have a relative who deferred their Exc.
Salary for ten years (to me that is extreme) and I got a buddy that is
about 5 years salary already spent (to me that is extreme) ....
Personally, when things were simple and the economy was OK ... I
grasped the 'Prudent Reserve Concept' put forth in AA. Applied it to
myself on a personal basis ... then the bottom fell out ... and the PR
and beyond was put into play. After all that is what it was there for!
Once the mentioned 'beyond' was straightened out and dealt with I'd
reached workin' plug pullen time ... things would be tight, but too
less things would be required. The PRC faced some re-work ... Many
things aren't ever going to be attained and put into play (so to
speak) if I toss it into a PR fund .. just don't figure on having
enough years left / if I do by then it won't/wouldn't matter. So the
re-work in my personal case meant putting aside a modified PR ...one
that covers the basics ... like food for myself and the cats, smokes,
and say a small hike in utilities or some such.
The big PR for the Big Things ... well that is past / dead in the
water. If I have one at all for the big things ... it would be the
existing credit lines on the beyond that remain active today.
Borrowing from AA and the amends section where it talks about making
them it also mentions making the best deal you can. Then Sharx666
tosses responsibility etc. into the mix ... also all good concepts ...
except experience has born new visions ... today I see myself on the
edge of the cliff, but as the promises suggest, I've lost my fear of
economic insecurity / doesn't mean I don't have it or won't have it /
just means I no longer 'fear' it. A realistic Big Thing PR is but a
pipe dream. One of a dozen things could occur and put me beyond the
safety net of a BTPR and occur in a heart beat!
So basically the best deal I can make is to say fuck it and not worry
about it. Do what I can to make whatever life is left as enjoyable
with as many pleasures within my means while staying inside the
boundaries of societies laws and not chunkin' out chunks of my own
personal ethics and morality code.
Then we have a basket of different reality facing us today ... How
much is an actual responsibile PR in these times and the times to
come? I say one factor is where the individual sits today and the
outlook of where they will sit in the future in regards to that ever
waiting spoken of cliff! Just what seems like yesterday ... an
avgerage (just guessing) fellow could have had enough put away to
cover six month / a year ... the car payment, the house, etc. ... give
themselves a cushion ... say if they got let go at work or whatever
... shucks that ought to do it / cover it! Except for many ... it
wasn't/isn't enough ... they be standing in the soup kitchen line,
sleeping under the stars, and hoofin' it .....right alongside the
lowlife's the one's not responsibile; the ones that never heard of the
concept of PR , let alone put it into play.
Am I bitter, am I resentful, no / I don't believe I am! What I am is
aware that in reality Unless ya have the means big enough to not
require a PR you're basically fucked or just kidding
yourself...because responsibile or not they done changed the rules and
if that don't work they'll just change them somemore!

During the good times, there was plenty of opportunity for most to build up
a reserve. But, noooooo, they HAD to have that 65 inch wide screen HDTV,
they HAD to have TVs...and computers in multiple rooms in the house. That
same house that was over mortgaged, either percentage wise. or based on a
vastly inflated value. They HAD to drink $5 lattes, maybe two or three times
a day. They HAD to drink brand-name bottled water, regardless of how good
the tap water available was. They HAD to trade in their vehicles when they
were barely broken in. They HAD to have a vehicle for every driver in the
household. I could go on. Those are just a few examples of the wasteful
lifestyle extremely common north of the Rio Grande, all the way to northern
Canada.
I wasn't born with that knowledge--I bloody well learned the hard way about

Especially galling was having hospital ER staff thinking that I was just

but the CT scan which they FINALLY gave me after several hours of pain DID
show the stone. Then the blessed Demerol was administered.

I spent years fighting with various makes of electric razors trying to get a
close, COMFORTABLE shave. No such Luck. Then I got a few sample of a
disposable BIC razor. Tried it...even without shaving foam...just soapy
water....and, VOILA, a close, comfortable shave in under 5 minutes, tops.
Each time Gillette has added a blade, yes, I get a better shave. It's not
just marketing malarkey...my beard grows in multiple directions, coupled
with very THIN, sensitive skin.

We can all point to someone else ... and say ... that there is
un-necessary. I'm sure there are things you have or do people could
point out. Hell, my Crazy Uncle would point to you and tell you to
Kill the Cat ... it ain't got a soul... to use that money to better
yourself or to help another human being. He thinks microwaves are evil
, TV's tools of the devil, etc, but when it comes to keeping his sorry
ass alive he wants and lets them use the latest and best of modern
technology to do it...
The bottomline is if a TV ...auto/even several/ computers/ are going
to put you under ... then you're already under and don't know it.
There is a difference between wasteful and useful and enjoyable ...but
we was talkin' PR ...and the meaning and what it takes has changed and
for many people it might give them some mental relief / but practical
relief when the time comes / a small delay at most.
