I watched an episode of Oprah and it is scaring the crap out of me. It is about Tent Cities which is essentially communities of tents where people live because they lost their jobs & home. These are middle class people who made $50,000+ salaries, couldn't pay their mortgage, lost their jobs, and were forced out on the street. This could happen to anyone.
If you lost your job, could you still pay rent/mortgage, buy food? For how long? Suddenly, spending money at the bars and buying clothes seems absolutely ludicrous to me.
After watching this show, I want to not spend a single cent on anything. Because....you never know.
