What I'm doing to cut back...

In October I made a challenge for myself and that was to make as many feasible cut backs financially as possible. First thing to go was the movie channels, and I don't miss them AT all. Secondly was the eating out. We're eating healthier and spending less. Switched from directv to dish tv and saved a bundle. Shopping much less. And lastly no home internet. This started when I lost the laptop charger, and at first it was rough to be so disconnected from the internet world. Well I found the charger and had no real interest to connect again. I was spending more time with my 2 favorite guys and wasting less time surfing for junk online. I discovered that my blackberry let's me do most of what I want anyway. So, the plan is in October 2011 to take a fabulous disney vacay using only the savings from cutting back. I can't wait!
