We've had to make a couple of lifestyle changes. We don't eat out much anymore. The biggest change is we've made is we had season tickets to the university football and basketball games. We made the decision not to renew the basketball tickets and are saving ourselves $3400. None of our kids live here and we said if the tickets made our finances difficult we would sell them.
