Economy Plan

Bunny and The Man bought a lot of stuff in 2007, including 1.8 billion dollars worth of landscaping. Now Dirtbunny has too much debt to quit her job. Thus, we are Cutting Back so as to reduce debt. Not so much by actually cutting discretionary expenses (of which there are puhlenty), like a rational household. More by obsessing over the details. Examples include:

• feeling compelled to consume obscure pantry items like bottled clam juice and whole wheat pastry flour
• feeling compelled to consume half-empty liter bottles of diet tonic water
• tearing hair and rending garments over the number of skin-care products accumulated in the bathroom cabinet
• feeling thrifty by knitting crappy projects with shitty left-over yarn (thereby using it up) when there is plenty of fun and lovely yarn in the stash that is already paid for and could be used to make something I'll actually like
• keeping the housecleaning service, dog walker, and digital cable and feeling no remorse, but waffling repeatedly on whether to keep the $18 per month Netflix subscription
