Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
For me there are two bare bones. One we stay in our dream house, the other we move. Now our retirement is based on staying here, obviously. However, we could:
Lower/raise the thermostat
git rid of cell phones
basic cable (no cable no tv and no tv not an option)
back to dial up
No eating out
no travel (for us that is not much of a sacrifice)
reduce special occasion spending birthdays/Christmas
some other minor stuff
Now we could move to a one bedroom apartment and greatly reduce our expenses, and that would really be bare bones, however, I can't even come up with the situation that would bring up to that.I guess if you get right down to it, bare bones is a room at the Y or under a bridge and supper at the soup kitchen.
