The only reason they started this boycott was because these companies did away with affirmative action and sodomite policies. 

Now they lie and state this is about supporting small local businesses.  If they cared about local businesses, they would have done this years ago.

If more than a handful of people can make it past the 2-3 month mark and start finding other ways of surviving with small business and self sufficiency, there may be hope.

Fixed it for you.

Because actually, I'm at the 25 year mark personally
By that I mean, I *habitually* only spend money when necessary. I buy things used, dumpster dive, fix up old things, accept charity, hand-me-downs and other freebies, etc. And let's not forget: good old fashioned "do without". We don't purchase or use thanksgiving/halloween/Easter/Valentine's day/St. Patrick's day/4th of July decorations, for example. And Christmas decorations are an investment. We buy them outright (of course), and use them until they stop working. The per year cost ends up being quite low. We don't do "updates" for the sake of novelty or fashion. If it still works, we use it. When it stops working, it gets recycled/burnt/composted/thrown out.

I also never travel.

In short, completely anti-consumerist. If everyone spent like me, the economy would collapse.

Sure. I am extremely cheap and proud of it.

I'll only spend when the old things are literally falling apart.

I have a love for saving money. You have to take care of your health when you grow old and healthcare is expensive.
