[quote=Michanne;3729399]That's what I mean! There are a lot of women in particular who won't get to know you because of their preconceived notions. You've made a choice to give up things others would not. I can't tell you how many people used to be in shock that I gave up cable tv (it is changing). I'm sure you would get strange looks about having, say, a smart phone. I couldn't live without one (with an i ) but I am connect with lots of people that don't. I can certainly understand and respect your choice. Actually if I had kids I would give up a lot to send them to private school.

A lot of my coworkers are amazed that we don't have smartphones..we have what I call dumb phones. They are also amazed that I am not attached to my phone. With 5 people in the house with cellphones I really don't feel the need to spend more than our current $150 a month on phones...most of the people at work that say that have young children who don't have phones.

I don't have issues with how people spend there money we all have different areas were may be more free spending
