Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Another Day, Another Dollar-- Part II: What We're Not Spending Money On

VETERINARY AND PET SERVICES -6% (I don't know about this. Some of our friends are spending real big bucks on operations on their pets.

CLOTHING AND REPAIR ALTERATION -19% (For the most part, it is just cheaper to buy new stuff.)

POSTAL AND DELIVERY SERVICES -28%-- (Is that why the post office is having problems?)

DENTAL SERVICES -4%-- (Not life threatening, put it off)

CASINO GAMBLING -11%-- (Other than the GRBs, who has money to throw away. Plus, how about bringing back the $1 and $2 tables.)

PLEASURE BOATS -12%-- (Not to mention the price of gas on the water. Something that can easily be given up.)

NEW AUTOS -12%-- (Sticker shock!)

NURSERY SCHOOLS -5%-- (Hard to believe this is dropping. Where those kids going?)

TOBACCO -16%-- (Folks quitting I guess.)

JEWELRY -7%--

FOREIGN TRAVEL BY US RESIDENTS -4%-- (Not surprising with sorry state of US dollar.)

MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES -9%-- (I'm surprised by this one.)

I Also Have Cut Way Down on All Sorts of Travel. --RoadDog


HOW'S THAT AGAIN? Dicker: To bargain or trade.
