Rather than going out to lunch or a movie the same satisfaction can be achieved by hanging out at home and cooking as a family.To answer your question on what expense have I reduced its 401k savings ($400 mth), eating out ($100-200 mth), and whole life ($300 mth) insurance.

Now a days in my area, some don't really need a car with all the ubers and lyfts and if your either live / work is walkable , or in my case 60+ eateries, bars, restaurants within 1/2 mile, 100s of more shopping service stuff, movies, all the choices blah blah blah.

- from the movie "The Big Short"

It's an entertainment expense, much like movie or concert tickets.

That movie instantly cured me of EVER being a landlord.  ;-)

LOL, ironically, it's about establishing boundaries.Are you going to go over there during a thunderstorm or when they watch a scary movie to hold their hand as their tender little beingness gets through such emotional trauma???

(to sit in a movie theatre alone?)

How about this, before you argue how the housing market is about to collapse and it's 08/09 all over again, go watch "The Big Short", it's a movie, big budget movie with stars like Steve Corelle.Will there be a decline in the housing industry, well DUHhhh!

You have to check by serial number.At home I run a MacBook Pro, simply because I love it for the graphics, watching movies, reading forums.

Not only is that true your comment pointing it out is probably going to be in the actual movie as well lol.
