[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 501022, member: 11791"] Janet - We can't afford anything, either. Which means... we find it at thrift stores, or we make it ourselves, or we do without. Cheating is never an option, in my opinion. Its taken me over two years to come up with a pair of winter boots for me - yes, even in this frozen wasteland, I have to do without, because $180 boots (sale price) are not an option (that's for proper warm practical ones, not for "dress boots"). I don't consider raw survival to be cheating... breaking into someone's wilderness cabin when caught in a major storm, or doing what it takes to survive an armed occupation of your country... things that are extreme by definition. Poverty, in and of itself, is not "raw survival". [/QUOTE]
