Only good things can come from reviewing expenses. Most people waste so much money that could be paying off a mortgage or credit cards.

There is a delicate balance to cutting back expenses and not making yourself feel deprived. When you can do both, it’s a real treat.

It is funny how extras tend to creep back into a budget after awhile. LOL at the cost of your first car!

Nice. I think it’s a good exercise to review all recurring expenses every 3-6 months. Usually there are a few things you no longer should be paying for because of changes in habit, etc.

Nice savings. I think the few little extras that we give ourselves are important though not always necessary. With that said there is no point in wasting money. We bundled a bunch of our subscriptions on one bill and saved 20% on something we were already paying for.

My husband and I canceled cable and then a year later moved the t.v. to the attic. You can watch t.v. online now! It saves on monthly expenses and we find that we are more productive. My kids do better without the t.v. too.

Do you think by canceling/downgrading some of your entertainment-related expenses, you are going to end up spending more on spur of the moment entertainment because you are bored? Since you don’t have Netflix, do you think you will end up going to a movie theatre more often in lieu of a movie rental?
