     How much I drive
     Entertainment (movies, restaurants, etc.)
     Clothing purchases
     Charitable donations
     Trading in my gas guzzler
     Convenience groceries
     Buying the latest electronics
     Subscriptions channels on satellite/cable TV
     I wish. I've cut back on everything.
