17. It is wise to not spend unnecessarily and protect your resources/assets

I don’t want to see the economy crash, but I think that is where Trump is heading.

I am spending on conserving and improving health, preventive medicine including vaccine and boosters
I am spending on building a 3 month food supply and necessary goods and first aid/over the counter health items

If Trump doesn’t crash our economy, I can share these staples with people in need because he is deliberately trying to hurt low income and disabled people of all ages.

I also am spending on well-made, durable clothing also, some second hand.

I think spending on good information services and communication services and devices is useful
I don’t know what will happen to our economy because of the craziness of our current situation-inflation, recession, stagflation, anything is possible

I don’t think my frugality will hurt our economy, but it can help me minimize anxiety and stay active in opposition.
