‘We will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do,’ Carney says
[…]
“The upcoming budget will balance the operating deficit in three years by reducing wasteful government spending and doing more with less,” Carney said. “But the fact is, even with such efficiencies and with better management, we will have to do less of some of the things that we want to do, so we can do more of what we must do to build a bigger and better Canada.”
It remains unclear exactly what those sacrifices will be or how they will be distributed.
I’ve scaled back my discretionary spending so much. I don’t go out half as much as I used to. I don’t spend at restaurants nearly as much. Cut back on subscriptions everywhere. Vacations? Maybe once a year now, and they’ve been more locally focused. Really focused on the basics and savings. Not sure what else there is to “do less” with after that. Is he talking about housing and food? :/
