Default Re: Financial Crisis belt tightening tips

starting to cut down on cigar spending
eating out a lot less; playing sports or going to the gym to relieve stress
gonna quit smoking cigarettes on Sept 7th
not buying any casual or business clothes; have enough to last me a long time
dining in with friends vs going out for dinner
adapting a 'do I really need it?' when making purchases

This is more self imposed vs due to the economy. After looking at what I can save in insurance premiums and losses in the portfolio, I figured this is a good time to pare down the lifestyle in case something happens.
