Don't go out to eat as much.

Typical dinner for two w/one drink each is at least $100.00.

I can afford it, but seriously, don't see the point of doing this 4x/week. Maybe 1x/week.


No real road trips only b/c been super busy trying to get a couple houses sold.

Economy is pretty good if you have a job and managing your debts if you have any.

Sure, things are more expensive, but just don't spend money on crap you don't need (booze, cigarettes, new car/truck, expensive clothes).
