I use my bike in the neighborhood, walk and take public transportation...the car mostly just sits outside. I realize that is a NY luxury.
I eat at home....I allow only 25 per month for entertainment...believe it or not. I do a lot of free activities. The rest goes to my business and home expenses.
I used to spend tons of money per year...now, I spend very, very little over basic needs. I am proudly the king of thrifty. It is beyond a challenge..it is a necessity.

It is very scary for people who expected to retire from a job like General Motors to go back into the workforce and start over. It's great that they have retraining services!
Good for you for eliminating bills too, its amazing how much we spend just on junk.
