Five Things I’d Hate to Give Up If Money Got Tight
Five things meme.
I have to think hard about this one.
1) Fiber: yarn and wools for spinning. I’d hate to give up my hobby. Fortunately I have a lot of stuff stashed away right now. I haven’t bought any since I quit working at the yarn shop a few months ago.
2) Gourmet cheese: In the summer, I love cheese with bread and a ice cold vegetable (red pepper, cucumber, tomato) for lunch. Giving up stinky cheese would be giving up all my calcium for the day. (I hate milk.)
3) Trips: I’d hate to give up my camping trips or trips to visit family x-country.
4) Dining out: I buy my lunch almost every day at work. Because I’m controlling portions, I can spend less than $4.00 on some days. I’m not sure I could bring my lunch for cheaper than that, but I know I can spend less than $5-7/day if I bring something from home.
5) Driving: I drive every where right now. In DC, driving your car & not drinking is a LOT cheaper than cabbing it and drinking, but only if you don’t pay for parking (a near mortal sin in my mind). While I would love to ride the bus and ditch the car altogether, sometimes I like opening up the car windows/roof and stepping on the gas flying down the highway on a summer’s day. Giving up driving would stink.
Of course, now the question is, would I be able to give this stuff up? I know I’d definitely backslide.
