    I started cutting back in spending a long time ago. I hit that age where one starts thinking about how it's going to live as an old person without social security. I've also watched as "the basics" got more and more expensive. I realized I needed to sacrifice for today to live more normally for tomorrow.

    I hear you Deo; I have started to sacrifice brand names and go to places like grocery outlets and the Dollar Store!

    ^^^ unfortunately, this probably means that some former private dance customers are now also substituting less expensive downscale options i.e. internet porn and XXX pay per view !

    That doesn't effect me since I'm not dancing anymore. But it sucks for the girls who are.

    Looks like some folks are finally starting to calculate their latte factor.
