In this day and age it seems like everyone from the poor to the rich are cutting back on things. I am cutting back on so much that I have run out of this to cut back on. Someone give me some other things to cut back on because I am just about out of ideas. And I find myself cutting back on so many things that I have been able to save up alot more money than I ever have but the bad part is knowing when to stop. I think im addicted to cutting back now.

You know how they say once you do something everyday for 21 days it becomes a habit? Well I been cutting back for about 10x longer than that so i guess im addicted to cutting back to the 1st power, lol. First the bills pile up so I cut back on cable. Still not enough so I cut back on fast food from 3-4 times a week down to 2-3 times a week. Still not enough! Then I cut back my cellphone bill by downgrading my minutes on my plan and got rid of the monthly text package.  Now im starting to see some progress.  One big problem though.  When I got the next month's bill I noticed that all that I saved in taking off extra services on my account I ended up going over my minutes and replying to so many texts that I ended up overpending what I saved by about $10.  Back at square one!

So now I gotta call all of my friends and family to tell them not to call me as often or text me any more because I am going under slowly but surely with every call and text.  So now I barely have friends and my family dont come to visit as often because they took it the wrong way when I told them not to call so much.  OK.  There is a silver lining in the family and friends thing though.  I am saving about $100 a month in extra groceries that I had to purchase to restock every weekend because the friends and family that used to love me and dont come over anymore would always eat them up and never brought any cooked dishes.  Who needs friends and family when you are starting to see some results from all the cutbacks so far.  Now I can add cutting back on friends and family to the list too.  Still I need to cut back further so that I can get everything in order a little faster than its going.

I decided I would cut back on my Xbox 360 so when the yearly subscription came due I just didnt renew it.  Pay no mind to the fact that this was my only form of release and now I just cut that back.  So no having that made me not buy a game for last two months which I would like clockwork once a month.  At this point I am looking around the house to see what else can be cut back on.  So I started to take inventory: cut back on electricity by opening the blinds and curtain even at night the streetlight will shine in, cut back on gas with no one to cook for and keeping the heat off and wrapping up in 3 blankets.  What else can I do?  I can cut back on buying clothing because I have like 10 shirts and 3 pair of jeans and I can make that into about 10 weeks worth of outfits.  Even more I can cut back on over the counter medicine so when I get a headache I can just goto sleep and hope that when I wake up it will be gone.  So now im so obsessed with cutting back that I have cut my bills back so drastically that it is actually giving me a nice return and I actually have a few bills of cash in my pocket for the first time in months.  

But I couldnt stop it was like I was possessed.  I went into the bathroom and kitchen and got the handsoap, the shampoo, the lotion bottle, dish detergen and laundry detergent.  Took some bowls out of the cabinet and poured half of them contents of each into a bowl.  I then filled the other half of the bottle with water and shook well like it says on alot cans before use.  I then put plastic wrap over the bowl of the other halves and put those away under the kitchen sink to have for later when the others start to run out.  Just refill, mix with water again and whallah!!!   Now that that's done im so hungry from neglecting food for so long to cut back stuff that I have to eat something.  Normally I would make a hamburger and fries or bake a pizza in the over but the stove is totally off limits to me now to save on gas and dish washing liquid to wash the dirty dishes.  So what do I do?  I open up the refrigerator and unzip a pack of deli sliced turkey and I eat about 3 slices and popped open a can of soda.  Wow!  That was a fantastically filling meal.  I didn't want to eat any bread because that would put me two slices closer to having to buy more bread.  And I didn't dare throw the soda can away.  Oh no!  I saved the can because it can be recycled for about $0.01.  Every penny counts.  Now either im on a roll or I have really lost my mind.

Guess im on a roll because I even cut back on sleep from 8 hours a night to 6 hours a night so that I can have more time to cut back on other things.  I even paced my sleeping to 2 hour intervals at specific times of the day.  The alarm clock goes off and I feel like I just layed down im so tired but my 2 hours are up so back to business.  So im running out of items to cut back on and I am totally out of ideas.  And then I get a real dumb idea.  I cut back on my dsl to dial-up and now everytime I need to download something it takes me about 2 days to download a few songs and check my emails.  That lead me to the conclusion that I no longer needed my computer I didn't have 2 day to wait around for response to an email.  Then I came to my senses and realized that if I got rid of my computer then I couldn't get on here and tell anyone about my ordeal.  So now im totally out of ideas on what I can cut back on.  Do any of you have any suggestion?
