Roach Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 So with gas prices increasing with no letup in sight, and everything else going up, what are some things you've cut back on?? I've been going thru all my "fun" expenses.. ie. netflix, going out to the movies, etc. and trying to reduce what I can. I'm not eating out as much... instead I'm eating more at home, which while it might not be a whole lot cheaper, it's better food. I also try to consolidate my trips... doing what I need all at once and not going back and forth from place to place. When it gets warmer, I might start riding my bike to the gym, since I normally do 30 min of cardio anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiveofeen Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 consumer spending is dropping and especially fast in terms of credit card purchases... You cant use $5 or $10 to put gas in the car so you pop it on the card. This is causing people to really slow down on credit card purchases on other items...

Roach Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I don't like it either, but I figure in the long run it will be better cause I won't be spending money on this that I really don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
