We regularly do this in our home and have done so over the past several years. As we cut out or replace or revise one or two, we find another one to tackle. Gradual change is more sustainable. We've cut out a lot of eating out/ordering in, shopping for pleasure, buying books and DVDs (the ones we want we borrow from the library or put on a wishlist for birthday or Christmas), junk food, and the big one: satellite tv service. That one alone was a big change and one we have not regretted in the least. We used a little of the savings to upgrade our internet service and the rest is used for other bills. I definitely don't advocate giving up all vices, but an honest evaluation of spending is always a good thing. This is an excellent example of how to examine your spending to find the ‘leaks’.

I DO NOT smoke, but i work at a store where we sell cigs and a pack after taxes is $8.27!! Everytime someone buys a pack I wonder "How can they afford this awful habit?" and how do you justify that money when you know it is hurting your health? My personal vice is Ordering In... we don't usuallyeat out with 3 kids it's just a bit too much... but we do order in way too much... chinese, pizza, dinner food, too many choices and it is too easy to have it delivered! thanks for writing- love your blog!
