No Take-out food/coffee, no movies at the cinemas (Streaming is best), No truck (Tabs,Insurance, Gas & maintenance all gone) and use Public Transportation, meal portions cut down to 1/2 what I usually ate (breakfast and dinner are larger with a light snack for lunch, no Brand new clothes, No smoking, drinking or clubbing, credit/debit cards down to 1 only to eliminate monthly fees. Heavy duty leather work boots to eliminate shoe cost (so far lasted 2.5 years, and finally no quick snacks from Ma and Pa stores. Boring Life? Maybe, but I'm economically comfortable; I forgot, I use throw away cell phones and got rid of the land line.
