Dear DC:

You are welcome.

“I also reduce my own personal expenses when I reduce the community expenses” – if you reduce your own personal expenses by so much that it’s worth your time and effort participating in the S.C- then keep going. But if the reduction is not worth your time and effort- quit your unpaid work for the  S.C.

The Serenity Prayer says in part: “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference”: think of the S.C. as one of the many things you cannot change and try to accept it serenely, best you can. Focus on what you can change, not on what you cannot change.
