Tough Times
Not very long ago, the Sotomayor family watched their neighbors to see who was buying more stuff---more
new cars, more furniture, even more meals at good restaurants. Nowadays, neighbors are watching each other
to see who can spend less.

In tough economic times, consumers see prices going up while their salaries stay the same. They're looking at
their old spending habits for anything that's not a necessity. Brent Boyle is the author of the 2009 book
Spending Less and Living More. Boyle says that families are giving up luxuries and saving money they need
for the necessities of life.

In the Sotomayor family, father Robert has given up his gym membership. "Why pay over $600 per year and
then drive to the gym?" Instead, Robert walks more places and rides his bicycle to work. The family still
owns two cars, but they traded in their gas-hungry SUV for a two-year-old economy car. "A new car loses
about half of its value in the first two or three years," says Robert. So instead of paying of paying $22,000 for
a brand-new car, they paid $14,000 for a car that should still run for many years.

The family is also cutting back on the little things. Robert's wife Lilia is making coffee at home every
morning rather than spending over $3 on the mocha lattes she used to buy. That five-day-a-week habit was
costing around $750 per year! Lilia is also bringing her lunch to work every day instead of paying restaurant
prices. She's too embarrassed to say how much she used to spend on lunch, but the savings on home-cooked
meals over restaurant meals can be quite significant.
 According to Boyle, most families can find ways to save if they're willing to give up a few of life's luxuries.
Buying ordinary blue jeans for $20 can save $80 or more compared to the price of designer jeans. Renting
videos and watching them at home only costs a few dollars, but a family of four can easily spend $30 at the
movie theater. And one of the easiest luxuries to cut out? Everything you drink that isn't water. "People don't
really need all the soda, flavored vitamin waters, and fruit juices that they're drinking," says Boyle. "It's kind
of like pouring money down the drain."
