manifesto

It begins.

For the rest of us. For the broke as fuck. For the workers and students and single parents. For the kids with hand-me-down sneakers. For the prom dates in thrift store finds. The dumpster divers. For the safety-pinned together. For the paycheck-to-paycheck. For the mark-down-special gourmet. For those longing to be free. To feel the wind in your hair. To relish the feel of the earth beneath your feet. To see the view from the top when you know you took the hard way up. For the battle scars and the late fines.

The Cheapskate Manifesto is an orientation, an impulse. That fitness, health, adventure, fun and meaning are available to everyone of every stripe.
