me too... it costs me about: 200 per month for dsl, fax, cell phone (recently cut that in half) 150 per month on average for electricity 500 per year for propane 50 per week for groceries, add another 50 for beer to destress.
Thats about as low as you can go, but I no longer have a car which is why I try and focus on things that I could do from here, but haven't seen any of that in awhile. One of the project managers that I worked with in vegas now works for rackspace in san antonio so I'm glad it hasn't happened to everybody. Trust me, the things I write about on my site are real, they are happening and in time if we can't stand the corporations from sending our jobs offshore, all of us will be bankrupt including our towns, counties, and states.
