I stopped buying electric guitars and am going to hold off on buying a new amplifier for a while. Just going to keep using my 25 year old Peavey Bandit 65. Cannot even modify my newest Dean ZX like I want since the Floyd Rose is the next expense I have to wait on. :biggrin:

and I had to break down to walmart for oil and ammo.
I just cant pay $4qt and $28 2 boxs of ammo. Saved $30 today.

I'd love to pay $3 for a drink!!! Most drinks downtown are $10-$12!!! Beer is $3 though.
me too! $3 drink would be sweet!.....I wouldn't have to prime the system @ home before going to the bar

No more lunches or dinners out and no going to the movies. Also bought a cheap old Ford Festiva 46.7mpg so that I could park my 18mpg Expedition. Spend a few hundred bucks on extra insulation in the house...
Other wise still spending like crazy...:biggrin:

Cutting back
I cut back a bit. I have to ask "Do I really need this right now?"
I did spend some money a few years ago on the roof, new windows, new A/C and insulation. It is making a difference now.
Still have to get the GN motor a rebuild. Not going overboard on high dollar parts.
Fortunate to have skill that is in demand, a good job and a decent paycheck.
