    I'm thinking of not going out this coming weekend, just save a little £££
    So it got me thinking, for a little motivation,

    What luxuries are you going without in order to save?

    Travelling on the tube/national rail/DLR/LO in London

    No need, he is already living within his means and enjoying life. Er, not sure about the 'being sensible' bit, though.

    Nothing, hell I'm spending more now than I was two months ago and next month I'm on holiday which will mean my spending will increase yet again and all I'm doing is spending more not cutting back, contrary to the popular believe of this forum, it's possible to save and live within your means without cutting back luxuries.
