What "extras" did you cut out or cut back on from your daily life to boost your budget fund?

    For me, I havent cut anything out...

    What I do is every Friday, a certain amount comes out of my check to go into a wedding account...

    I deal with what I have left...

    If I have more money when the month is over, I put it in my wedding account as well...

    Sorry I didnt really answer the question...lol

    I have gotten my hair done less, that's saved some $$.  I'm selling my condo myself instead of paying a realtor to do it for me.  I also cleaned my entire condo myself instead of hiring a cleaning service like I wanted to.  Other than that, things are mostly the same.  FI is generally frugal so he has money stacked that we can use for the wedding, which is nice.

    Like to PP I didn't change anything either.  I set my budget according to what I could afford without cutting out my daily activities or enjoyment.

    I stopped Pedi's every week and thus went to every two weeks, we cut date night down to once a month, which works out fine because with our current schedules its been really tough to make time .

    Thanks ladies!  I hadn't cut either - was just wondering if I was the only one who's living normally.

    I haven't cut anything.

    Like pp I set my budget for what I know I can afford without having to give up anything I like doing.

    We are trying to travel a little less...we like to skip town on a whim, but now we are trying to limit it. It hasn't worked yet, but the plan is to cut back after this month. We'll see if it works.

    We cut our annual trip which we take every year (I am still going on my trip with my sister :-P). And we do date night at home one of us cooking (usually me). We go out once a month for a nice reasonably priced dinner and also only go to the movies like once a month. We used to go every week!
    Oh and we brown bag our lunch. Except for once a week.
