Modest Finanaces

Modest finances We're supposed to travel to the Algarve, stay at a posh hotel, and eat at a restaurant that sells African food on my birthday So many medical bills coming, an unhealthy thud in our post-box and the tediousness of re-insuring the car to walk in our car-infested town and the lengths to banks and medical facility makes a car a must. Of course, we could go to the Algarve, stay at a doss house, and risk fighting the bedbugs, there have been many French tourists this year. When the finances are modest, it is not tragic one has to be less craven and do with Coca-Cola. Burgers and hot fries, there is a charm to meeting those who have as little as us, we feel as if we belong to the masses and buy a left-wing newspaper. How wrong we are, the hamburger crowd is not interested in who rules their life, all they want is a burger, with fries.
