SMW Money Editor Martin Brown's article, "
The Starbucks Factor,
" hits home to all of us. Have you, too, noticed a difference in your discretionary income for even little things, like your daily morning latte?
Here's our list of do-withouts:
Allison, Founder, SMW:
"I'm down to only one pair of shoes a week. Ouch!"
Paula, Careers Editor:
"I've cut down on my book budget—which is my big indulgence."
Josie, Relationships Editor:
"I do without EVERYTHING. Sadly, I'm down to panhandling. I'm cute, but the biggest amount I ever get is a quarter. What's up with that?"
Erin, Looks Editor:
"Any lipstick that retails over $6! That's truly sad, isn't it?"
Melissa, Family Editor:
"My kids now eat P&J for EVERY meal. Not that they didn't before..."
Martin, Money Editor:
"The Lamborghini had to go. The gas was too expensive..."
Okay, now it's your turn to speak out. We want to know what you've given up.
