Wait, are you really asking why people should give up unnecessary expenses if they're spending so much on them that they can't afford rent? No, $150/mo won't get you a place to live in NYC; but 10 $150/mo habits sure will. And maybe that single $150/mo habit is the difference between "there's literally no room in this city available to rent for $650/mo" and "I have a place to lay my head for $800/mo".
