Are you/your family starting to be more conservative with your finances - like eating out less - because of rising costs?

I've always been conservative with my finances. But with the rising costs, I'd even be MORE conservative. That's why after my recent trip abroad, I'm saving up again. It's good to have some buffer stock in times of crisis.

Much more conservative! I am actually in the mortgage industry and have been able to see first hand how badly things are getting for many people it truly is horrific out there right now and I am trying to save every dollar I can because I see it getting much worse before it gets better. I really hope i'm wrong but time will tell

yes, we consider how much we are driving now more then we ever had. Eating out is a thing of the past to us due to the higher prices of gas. many things have been changed due to it.

No. We have enough saved and make enough money that the three times we eat out a month isn't going to put a dent in our financial plan. I was smart enough to see through the sucker bet that was interest only and floating rate mortgages. I have a 30 year fixed mortgage at less than 5.5%.

Yes. Less driving and eating out and being more careful with other purchases.
