For one month, what could you live without?













While I was home sick, I got to sit down and watch Oprah. The show was Suze Orman: Can You Afford College, a Wedding, a Divorce? Suze sure knows how to dish out the tough love, especially when people are in denial about what they can truly afford. In an earlier show and again in this episode, Suze urged viewers to do three things:
  1. Don't buy anything for one day.
  2. Don't use your credit card for one week.
  3. Don't eat out for one month.
This got me thinking. What could you live without for an entire month? TV? For me, that one would be tough because I do love spending my Monday nights snuggled up to my husband watching Heroes. Eating out? Well, I could do it for about a week. But a whole month? Chocolate? O.K. Now that is just too far. What would be the hardest to give up? Could you do Suze's plan? I'd love to know your thoughts.

Keep it sweet,
Jessica
