[quote=Anonymous]Small things:
We don't really scrimp here, except for not having cable. 
We go out to eat frequently and modestly and we take $150 Target trips pretty regularly. I just bought $30 of books for my kid but we also use the library heavily. We buy nice gifts for each other and are generous and live comfortably.

Big things:
We tend to save on bigger things, like renting a house that is about $1K less than we can afford so that we can continue to save for a down payment. We have one car when we probably could use two, but one is fine and we can supplement with extra long transit routes or a $15 Uber once a month when we both need to be in two car-only places at the same time. We don't take vacations beyond visiting family, though we may take one this year that costs about $3K, which is small for many on this board but significant for us. Would be the first vacation like this for us in 7 years. We do enough that we don't really miss it (and sometimes we travel for work). [/quote]
