One thing it forces me to do is only buy what I can afford to spend my spare income on, which thanks to the hours reduction is not as much as it used to be
Fortunately, this in turn forces a change in philosophy when it comes to buying and owning stuff. Which is that I actually really think hard about the things I buy these days and their long term use to me. Doesn't make me an ideal consumer but it made me look back on a whole pile of stuff I'd bought in the past and realise I'd been quite dumb.
Fortunately 9 times out of 10 these days I am really happy with what I buy, because I have made damn sure that it is EXACTLY what I want. I have a list of 5 or 6 things that I want to pick up for myself this year (the IHSH-75 was the first), and I am totally sure they represent the best "bang to buck ratio" in their particular field because I have been anal as fuck about when considering them against their alternatives.

Until 6 months ago I was unaware you could pop a rib out. Today was the third time I have now accomplished this wonder of nature. Hurts like a !&@%#*. Need to get it realigned at the Chiropractor and then get to the root of the problem.

Sucks balls summ3r, hurts to sit or stand up straight and even hurts to breathe sometimes. Happens easier and easier after the first time too. Need to get er put back then go easy for a few months. Happens to me 2-3 times a year.

Seul good on you mate for managing your funds.
Megatron I agree on your buying stuff that lasts . Been going that route for a while too.
Like you said , look back on the shite you've bought over the years and loudly moan and whince.I imagine if most people did a budget ( scary word for some ) and took a hard look at what they
earn vs what is left after their paid ….might wise up . The simplicity of it is - don't spend more than you earn.I have a few coworkers who have serious CC debt , plus student loans to pay back . As you can imagine , not the jolliest folks going.

Glad to see similar views on debt. It kills me that "more stuff" means more to the crowd than self sustainablity. It also kills me that my grandkids who are decades from existence will inherit the black hole of debt, and their quality of life will likely be greatly diminished for it.

I think if you're actually a father, there's something to be said for appreciating the new My Little Pony. The themes that they present are wonderful for kids, and little parental reinforcement goes a long way. Now, bronies without children may want to re-think their priorities. Although I still like the ideals espoused by the show, I certainly don't have a rainbow dash t-shirt, or anything.

I work with a few Bronies. They're just people :). The Bronies documentary (yes, it's a real thing - http://www.bronydoc.com/) is worth watching.
jdl I think your point was less around Bronies more around APC but in context of Bronies. Or maybe it was being head-to-toe dressed by his girl? And on first read I imagined a real cat dressed in APCs. Took about 3 reads to realise cat = person :).
