I give up Buying liquor As it drills holes both in my health and pocket.

I do not know what to give up. I already do not watch films in theater, eat out, buy liquor, own vehicle, go to beauty parlor, shp around and go on holidays. So, if the expenses are more, only monthly saving will reduce. I take non veg food and drinkonly in bar sometimes. If I am to reduce expenses, only frequency may go down.

But will it make such a difference to your budget ,meaning will giving up liquor help you cut down your expenses drastically?

All these are things from which we can cut down the cost. I would definitely check all these and try to reduce all of them I won't say I will stop shopping or stop eating out but definitely reduce the frequency. :blink:

Most people think of cutting down on monthly savings and cut down on liquor expenditure and also stop eating non vegetarian food which according to them saves quite a bit a money..

A distant relative of my wife, who was highly educated and had substantial property was totally destroyed by drinking habit. It also made him a pauper almost.
At this juncture, i moved in and shown him practically, how just by curtailing a portion of his expenditure on Liquor can make him gain his lost health and property in a span of 6 years.
The best part was, he followed my advise religiously and could gain back almost his health and property. I narrated this experience to you in my response to your thread. I;m a teetotaler .

I won't give any one because I am not addicted to any of these- but #1, 7 & #3 are not on my list, although if I must I'll think in terms of using my own vehicle to minimum.

I wonder which ones will be stopped by those who do all of the above things....Most people hold to the ones that they like the most even if it is costing them more and give it up only when there is no other go !

In that case I shall stop going to beauty parlour because I do not see any need any more. (I am sure going to barber is not like going to beauty parlour)

For those who are used to doing all the above might find it difficult to cut down on buying liquor and watching movies, I have seen it firsthand with some people I know!

Personally, I would give up eating out, shopping, watching movies in a theater but would not give up beauty parlour in any case, I need it for my confidence !

I will give up
1. Watching films in the theater
2.Eating out in the hotel
3. Going on Holiday

Of course, I agree with you Kalyani, why ever give up a simple pleasure like going to a beauty parlor? :cheer: .....Personally I have gone to the parlor just 4 times in my life dragged by my daughters , more because of laziness, once I am back home I get stuck here ! I feel that one can give up everything when it is needed except the basic necessities ...

True! And I think it is very much needed just for the sake of looking good but is really necessary as a booster for your self-esteem and feeling good!

That's the right thing one should do. We should try not to spend money on the things just for pleasure frequently. :)

Of course , When things are normal, we must indulge and splurge once in a while otherwise life becomes too monotonus and boring, so we can add some excitement even if you have to scrimp later ...

I can't understand, Because I rarely do this thing. I never buy liquor.

I rarely eating non vegetarian food also.

I will give up:

For holidays.

I can stop anything except liquor and non veg food. I had never visited any beauty parlor in my life till now, so it does not count. I will quit going to movies for a month.

There are alternatives for car usage also. People in a locality will use the car pooling system, where in only one person's car will be used for a week.. The system will be rotated each week and another person 's car will be used. And this rotation eases the expenditure burden on Petrol.
