pay off major debt, but I finished that a couple years back. If you have a mortgage, it's about to be a great time to refinance the way bond yields are looking.
The big one though, trying to work up the resolve to put to bed either my netflix subscription or my hulu subscription. Probably hulu. Haven't pulled the trigger yet.
- nerpderp82 7y agoThe cultural and intellectual purchases are for me, the point of existence. So while tightening up the necessary and utilitarian aspects of life, I think we should not put ourselves under austerity. For instance, skipping three restaurant meals can be exchanged for an amazing home cooked meal, with top of the line ingredients and drinks, while being less than the cost of a single restaurant meal. Have a friend over as well, we don't have to cut off access to whole world. Don't trade the restaurant meal and hulu for a package of top ramen and 4chan. No one benefits.
