Spending Less, Giving More

   
        We don't have money. How are we going to live in this world when we 
need money to survive? I, myself began spending less and saving more, at 
least, and I have a family that supports me. In this case, it is not money 
that we need to survive but others.

        I live in a computer world where I spend my life in technology. 
Even people in our neighborhood are fighting between operating systems 
in their computers and mine. Why do they care about what is installed 
in my PC when it is MY system. I even spent bundles for it just for me to 
mind my own business. 

        Nowadays, we can't ignore the fact that economy is spiraling 
downwards. Not only here in our country, but worldwide. People spent 
other people's money to buy things they don't really need and suffer 
eventually for it. The money the US spent (that was half-trillion dollars), 
is just I guess buying time. Here, in my world I live in, I'm seeing changes 
happening around me: Free software, companies looking at alternatives to 
lessen IT costs, or delaying purchases, or acquiring GPL licenses for 
their programs to further development, etc. These are not my doing, but
what surrounds me, and this is reality. In the software world, there is 
such thing as “free.” Not only free in terms of source code but you can 
install it for free, at no cost and it is legal. What I am trying to say 
is there are those people who give their time, money, effort for us people
who cannot afford to buy and I think in their small way, they are making a 
difference. If those people can do it, why can't we.
