Unreal Expectations

Things that should never have to be considered for elimination from the household budget:

1. Digital Cable (seriously, how do you know what's playing if you can't flip to schedule screen?)
2. High Speed Internet (dial-up? what's that?)
3. Netflix (movies are a necessary emotional food)
4. Diet Coke and Chocolate (I mean really, could the world function without this classic combo?)


Things that should be able to be eliminated from the household budget:

1. Rent (they expect payment?!? What's up with that?)
2. Electricity (candle light is so romantic)
3. Student Loan (has the education really paid me a dividend in a better salary?)
4. Car Payment (I got paperwork at the dealership - what's with this letter from the bank?)
