I saw a news article with the above headline.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/could-cut-spending-1-000-145150037.html
I don't normally say this, but...
This is a first world problem.
Does the writer have any knowledge about how much of the country's, and indeed, the world's population lives on less than $1,000 a month? And for him it's just "fluff"!
Don't make this political, there's enough mud to cover all parties involved. But how can an educated person thump his chest about the sacrifices he's made when they include "Firing the maid" cutting down to tv 200 channels a month, and refinancing the house?
For the record, I consider myself extremely blessed. After paying the mortgage and funding my retirement savings I LIVE on $1,000 per month.
So, not to pry but, could you cut your expenses by $1,000 per month?
