Well some of the above responses are quite interesting.
I still have a cell phone from work even though I haven't worked for a while due to the building market here in Central Florida. Thankfully we are blessed in that we have no debt and don't have to make many of the sacrifices other families do.
I DO have Satellite TV as I am a passionate sports fan and always have been. I also spend on gardening and woodworking and maintainence of the house much of which I do myself. We both love community theater and live music shows. Unfortunately my wife will only attend classical music concerts which I love as well but others as well too.
I DON'T care about clothes but my wife does so she does much of the mixing and matching for me in that area. This fulfills one of her passions and I don't object.
The house and car 1999 Toyota, and truck 2005 Ford F-150 are paid for, no debt, we take many mini vacations and are planning for a 1 month vacation this June to her home country.
I have pretty much stopped spending on audio other than a few things here and there to tweek the system as I am quite satisfied with what I have although I probably will update the speakers in the near future and have some work to do on my analog, other than that I'm done.
I have come to the conclusion over time that less is more. We have started clearing out the house of things which are not necessary and giving it away where it can do better good.
