Eating out at restaurants. That was a treat that was only had every couple of months and special occasions.

Absolutely. We would go out to dinner maybe once a month. It was always an exciting night.
This is actually one thing that my wife (nope) and I are doing with our family to cut costs. We’re going out to eat less.

But cars were easier to work on and most men could change their own oil.


I did, as it got harder to slide under a car is when I just started to bring it in. Beside, the dealership changes your oil, checks and fills all the fluids and rotates your tires cheaper than the in and out places just do for an oil change.
