    Complaining. I recommend that everyone cut back--life is too short to spend half of it whining, moaning and complaining.

    I've cut way back on sleep. My toddler daughter has graciously assisted with that.

    In truth, sleep is one of the most cost effective things you can do. No food, lights, heat... image

    DVD movies. I used to buy a lot. Now I've got a Netflix account, and movies I want show up at my door. It's saving me about $200 a month, plus I've been eBaying off a lot of my old movies that I don't really intend to watch again (and if I ever do want to watch it again, I'll just Netflix it).

    We've cut way back on almost everything since we bought a second house in April. Once we move to it and sell the house we're living in now, the money should start flowing again.

    I guess I missed something. Why exactly are we cutting back?

    Let me also ask- Why are we cutting back- Is there a reason?
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    I haven't bought anything numismatic in about four months. I find reading and talking about coins is actually more
    fun and interesting than buying them for a collection. This could have very negative repercussions for the coin
    market if it catches on. image

    Yes, it could. With the increasingly high prices for "nice" coins we may see more collectors doing just that.

    Everyone presumably has their own personal reasons, including the obvious "I'm not." For me, it's a matter of trying to simplify my life and my lifestyle. My world has become entirely too cluttered, and I want to purge myself of junk that I really don't need lying around my house. Nowadays when I see something in a store I like, I tell myself it's just one more thing to pick up, clean, and put away -- and more often than not I pass on the purchase.

    If I could only convince my kids of this philosophy...

    My doctor keeps telling me I should really be cutting back on thick steaks and aged bourbon...

    Instead, I'm cutting back on doctor visits! image

    don't worry, be happy image

    I started that a long time ago. In the past year I'm finally to a point where I know the where abouts of everything I own. Half of that is still going to be sold. It is nice to have room to move and ease of cleaning. Been selling and junking soooo many things that I find are just obsolete. Saving the cash for something that will hold It's value.
