For awhile, we will be poor.

Well, cash-poor, anyway. It’s not like real poverty. We still have our computers, internet access, Tivo, DDR (and plenty of other PS2 games), a car, our bikes, plenty of budget for food and even a little for entertainment… but we’re going to have to be much more cautious with the discretionary income for some several months to come. Actually, we’ll just have very little discretionary income to speak of for the next several months. I’ve already budgeted Christmas presents, so that will still be relatively lush… but that’s it. No travel, no more goodies — not that we need anymore goodies, see above.
