Dear Hillary

Dear Hillary,

     I was very disturbed to hear you are broke. I thought maybe I could offer some tips to helps a working woman survive the every day hassles of life.

     First you have to have a family meeting, everyone must be on board for the family to make ends meet.

   Let's start with those credit cards, cut them up and if you can't pay with cash, you shouldn't buy anything.

     Dining out, that will eat your budget ( no pun intended) it has to stop.

     Make a weekly menu and clip those coupons, remember to go through the sales ads and decide which store best suits your needs for the week, and if your like us, there may be a few meatless meals, so check out some recipe books and a nice stroll to the local library helps in 2 ways, you get exercise and save gas.

     We have a shower limit, got to keep the water bill down, 2 minutes, get in scrub and get out!

     Laundry can tear into a budget, cold water only,  and maybe Bill will string you some lines outside to dry clothes, the exercise is great and it makes your clothes smell nice.

     Keep those drapes open, sunlight is free and why waste electricity burning bulbs.

     There is a few things that will have to go, just until you get back on your feet, no movies, no cd's, no eating out at all, no vacations, no salon appointments, trade in those gas guzzlers for fuel efficient cars.

   Keep your thermostat at 68 in winter, 74 in summer, which reminds me, keep a needle and thread handy, sweatshirts and sweaters always need repairs.

   We have a no waste rule, so we eat leftovers for lunch and our water comes out of the tap, not a plastic bottle.

     I was thinking maybe you could get a part time job working with me. My husbands check gets eaten alive by taxes and higher health care costs now, so I don't have a choice, I have to work, I feel your pain, because at one time , we were solidly middle class, a shrinking pay check and inflated goods and services , we barely break even any more.

Maybe when the furnace breaks down or the roof springs a leak or the car needs a brake job, you can come over and cry yourself to sleep because the stress of making ends meet came be overwhelming at times, or maybe the heartbreak of constantly telling your kid ( No we can't afford that anymore) will get to you!

     I understand how you must be struggling , now that we are up in age the hard work is taking it's toll on our bodies.

     Hope I offered some sound advice, got to go, looks like rain and I have to bring the laundry in.

                                                                                                   Regards,

                                                                                                                 Sully16

 

ps. I probably won't vote for you if you run for President, because I will vote for whoever gives us back some of the money WE EARN....WE EARN! And obamacare sucks and it needs to go away.

Excellent.

Did you notice how Hitlery said they were trying to get MORTGAGE(s) ? Must be nice to have more than one home, along with upkeep, double utilities, taxes. What a CROCK. This woman is SO out of touch it is pathetic, SHE WOULD NEVER GET MY VOTE, EVER.

If she tried to follow your advice, Hildabeast would probably fall down and hit her head again. She can't relate with the average human being.
