Answer 3

All of a sudden I have noticed things have become expensive.  So I am now asking myself 'do I really need this?' and mostly the answer is no, not yet.  I cut down on car use and every spare penny is put aside.  But the fridge and larder look somewhat bare  -  perhaps we were over-indulging before.  I might even manage to lose some weight.  There's always a bright side !!!

Answer 4

Get a 2nd job ?
