Seven Things

What are seven things you can’t give up, could live without, or have already given up?  Here’s mine.

7 Things I can’t give up:

1. Each of us having our own car.  It would literally be impossible to share a car where we live, or to take public transportation.
2. Getting my MBA.  This will help me a lot with my future.
3. My dogs.  I love them too much.  They are my children.
4. My cell phone.  I feel secure with my cellphone.  Sadly to say, whenever I forget it at home, I feel lost.
5. My laptop.  I need the internet and I bring my laptop everywhere with me.
6. Internet.  I feel that you can do EVERYTHING with the internet.
7. Going out on the weekends (I would of course trim this down if I needed to, but going out on the weekends does not have to entail spending loads of money)

7 Things I could live without if I had to:

1. Cable.  I don’t watch TV a ton, so I could live without it.
2. Blockbuster Express (the one that gets shipped to your house, not the one like Redbox)
3. My new car, I should trade it in for an older model
4. Unlimited texting on my cellphone.  I could start calling people, but that would be hard 🙂
5. My dryer.  I could start line drying.
6. I could turn my air conditioning up a little bit more
7. Smoothies.  I have smoothies all the time and I love them.  They help me get rid of my migraines, so in order for me to eliminate smoothies, I would need something else for my migraines.

7 Things I have given up:

1. HBO, cost around $16 a month
2. Showtime, cost around $8 a month
3. My excessive clothing shopping,  I used to come home with BAGS and BAGS of clothes everyday when I used to manage a clothing store.  My BF would get angry and I was at the point where I would hide my bags in my car and sneak them in.
4. We used to drive around just for fun, but haven’t done that since gas went past $3
5. Internet on my phone, not really needed since I bring my laptop everywhere
6. Tanning (I got rid of this to save money, but also because I don’t want skin cancer)
7. I eat out a LOT less.  We used to eat out everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
