Cutting living expenses...

[Suki Wingy]

I just found out my county now has the #1 highest sales tax in the country, thanks to a recent tax hike! Good thing I'm moving soon!

This thread has really opened my eyes. I've learned a lot of good ways to save money and cut back, whether or not I feel the necessity. Thank you for all your good comments, everyone.

IWe go to the local dirt racing track every weekend all summer long

Really? I'm jealous! I love dirt racing!!! We have a few local tracks not too far from us, but the cloest track (Toledo Speedway) is asphalt. Still fun, but I love the dirt!!!

Sorry...you wrote a novel and I focus on one minor detail! Shows where my money goes, huh?

I wouldn't like it, but I guess I am lucky to say I could cut $500 a month and survive...I quit going out to lunch and stared packing, (more to loose weight then save money) but I probablly save $100/month right there. If Ralph did the same, maybe we are close to $200. Yes, I would have a hard time giving up my sports and radio and TV, but yeah, if push came to shove...I think I could cut at least $500/month.
(And with Ralph working for automotive, we may get to that point!!!!)
