In my newfound efforts to be cheap, I've eliminated the following from my budget:

- My personal trainer
- Going out for drinks
- Going out for dinner
- Clothes
- DVDs

As day three of my parental stand-off continues, I've exchanged zero words and two cold glances with them. I'm hoping they'll kick me out just so I can add fuel to the fire. I find my recent anger and hatefulness to be rather refreshing and almost life-affirming.
