With my wife (so far) avoiding a layoff, and my job actually being more secure in the current environment, our expenses have gone down a *lot* lately. We were making good money, but our fiscal discipline had slipped lately and more was going out than coming in. Not a problem anymore when 90+% of our food is from Sams Club and going to the movies, etc, isn't even an option.
Gotta take the positives in life where you can find them...
