    I spend the same amount. I have just adjusted where it all goes. It used to go to partying and clothes and now it goes into savings and a car.

    I try to shop very carefully because of the financial situation we are all trying to survive. We are all vulnerable and security cannot be taken for granted! Look at the banks and retail stores that we have seen go under. Tough times for everyone.
