Cutting Costs

The realities of our unemployment are slowly sinking in for us. I went through this when the dotcom bubble burst but this is the first time the Wife has been out of work, at least against her will. Her severance package was generous compared to some so we have a few months before we start cutting into our savings and start the slowly decent into financial destitution and ruin. 

All our doom and gloom hasn't stopped us from eating out, however. Yesterday, lunch consisted of tasty organic sodas, some organic chicken soup, sandwiches with chips and some turkey sausages on the side. Afterwards we split a danish for desert. I know, we should be budgeting and we should be cutting such obvious costs like eating out... but when CostCo features such fine dining nearly everyday for the incredible cost of free, well, it's easy to forget we're poor.
