My list of 'things are so crazy in the US these days that we can't even think of doing the following things'...
- Moving. We would like a single-story house but I never want a mortgage again so we will need to save cash, plus sell our current house, in order to buy a new house. This won't be happening for a while...
- Traveling. My walking club is having a convention in a couple of months but between the cost of a basic hotel ($300+ per night !?!), plus flights, plus car rental, etc, I think we will just stay home and save several thousand dollars :(
- Changing jobs. I actually love my job and have no intention of leaving, but I have several friends, highly qualified and very skilled friends, who can't find a job to save their lives! The job market these days is very scary.
- Watching the news/doomscrolling/etc. The news is nothing but awful awful awful. Since there is nothing I can do about every terrible thing that is happening, I will just watch more positive and happy things instead of stressing out about things I can't change.
- Eating junk food. Since my birthday is in 50 days from now, I have challenged myself to not eat any junk food for 50 days. We will see how this goes...
