1) Cancel the luxury cable channels and stop eating out
2) Stop buying food and paying rent
3) Tell my boss I'm going from 40 hours a week to 30 hours a week

"Wow! I think Numbers 2 & 3 are the best answers!", said the Republican Party

Six months later ....

"Oh, crap! Now I owe $30,000 on the credit card bill due to interest! What should I do? Well, I'm only working 30 hours a week - so the best thing would probably be to start giving away 5 hours a week in earnings to my rich brother".

Not getting yourself into that position is in practical effect not spending money that exceeds your earnings year after year.

Not spending it on supporting illegal aliens that shouldn't be here in the first place, for example.

Not making welfare a way of life. A couple months or some other finite duration and then that's it.

Not giving away foreign aid.

Not forgiving loans to other countries like Haiti.
Not doing nation building.
Not paying both to blow something up and then to rebuild.
Not staying in other countries like South Korea for 60 YEARS after the war is over.
Not shipping jobs around the world instead of here in the United States, which means the government cannot overly regulate or overly tax those businesses.

Your beloved liberals are the ones mostly responsible over the years for running up that credit card bill. Not entirely, but mostly, especially FDR's "New Deal" and that Lyndon Johnson and his "Great Society" bullshiat.
