When you are low on cash, What's the first thing to go?

Cash - sometimes we get low on cash and have to cut corners

I like to use paper plates,bowls and cups at home. It saves on the dish washing! But when we are low on cash that's the first thing to go! Its not a necessity. Now if things are really bad, I guess the first bill to go is cable.

Well, for me, dining out and entertainment is usually the first to go in order for me to trim the fat. I don't use paper plates and bowls so for me, that would be the first :-)

Here it is real plates and flat ware. Not really allowed to use disposables, and it would bother my conscience. I would also say that cleaning wipes, paper towels and fabric softener sheets could easily disappear.

Hey devideddi! I think that I have no idea what to get rid of at this point! I don't even use paper plates and don't even have a dish washer so that can't even help me when trying to decide what to get rid of! And my cable is hooked up the phone, computer and tv so if I try to get rid of that big bill I really will have a major problem since I get a discount on the the bill for having all the services connected from the one company! I can't think of anything else to cut at this point! I try to watch the electric to cut down on that, but that changes from month to month and is too hard to fighure since the price of electricity goes up and down each month! I think that is is almost impossible to try to save money these days and the companies that provide the services know it and take unfair advantage!

Got rid of cable long ago. My YMCA membership would be next, or eating out.
