Re: How Do You Keep Up With Inflation?

I think you are doing great. They key is keeping an eye on your expenditures to plug any leaks. My winetasting was not that big of a thing in my budget since I was working yard duty until the pandemic. But as everything was shut down I started finding that I did not enjoy it towards the end. So I asked myself why am I spending money on something that doesn't turn me on like it did and with toxic people to boot? I have lots of wine to drink up and it is slow going. Again it doesn't turn me on as much as it did so I only have about a bottle a week or less. I have enough to last the rest of the year. Being diabetic means I have to be careful.

So that has been one of my new criteria for making budget cuts and saving money. If it no longer turns me on then it's gone. I don't deprive myself, if I really want to do something I will. But the enjoyment has to be worth the expenditure.
