Less dating, cut out first class and hotel upgrades. Cooking at home more.

No change in spending for us. We buy and spend whatever we want when we want.

Cooking at home more is a good lifestyle change irrespective of economics. I’ve been trying to do that too.

I bought some pasta making stuff to cut out heavily processed pasta.

Not with the price of groceries. It’s cheaper to eat out these days. Especially with several restaurants having daily specials.

If you like eating trash, sure. McDonald’s is cheap too with their app.

We haven't' made any large purchases but have spent money on home improvements as we aren't going anywhere, anytime soon.

We have pared back out travel plans this year to one small trip.

I have been saying for a while that the economy was going to plummet about 12-18 months after the fed pivoted.

We are looking for a second home and I believe the market will be ripe for the picking next year.

I am still buying BTC at a pretty good clip until fall this year.

Not really but we have been fairly mindful, by history

I am going through a phase where I think economy will be pretty bad. Normally, this would mean I should cut back spend but I’m also in the market for some things that may be impacted by tariffs. Working as intended, cause consumer fear, lead to recession, lower inflation


The plan is for us to cut back and rebuild our emergency fund then start investing more. We bought a house in November and just been spending way too much per month for the past 6 months.

No, just staying the course. I don’t eat out at nice restaurants as much due to the price but that has been since Covid.
