I use my neighbor's wifi, and take cold showers. Only joking about the showers, I crank dat shit and sit in there for close to an hour a day, sometimes twice if it's cold and I'm depressed. That only works when you have an income though.

Etc. would it be nice to have another pair of jeans for a change? Yeah, but would I rather have a new pedal? Yes thank you! And so on.

I've cut down on all of my non essential spending. I literally price everything in pedals. Only thing I regularly buy out is coffee, but that's worth sacrificing some gear for.

Pretty much this, except I don't buy coffee out, but do allow for pizza.

I pack lunch when i work at the record store, and I make my own lunch at the restaurant sometimes so I don't have to pay. But if I'm feeling lazy I can pay half price, today that was $5 for lunch.

For a while I was only eating out because I worked at the restaurant 5 days a week and then I'd go out for dinner after the record store, after that I almost stopped eating all together because I was disgusted with food. I'd have an apple for lunch and half a serving of whatever was for dinner that night.

I do alot less internet browsing so alot of the temptation is gone for me because it takes 45 minutes to get to any nice guitar store, I'd look at home and mail order or go in once a month, so now I just search craig's list for Sunn amps and other oddball stuff for fun.

I have a good job and I work hard.
When I started purchasing some great gear, I was living in a small appartment... I don't really spend money elswhere.
My favotite activity other than music is hicking (which doesn't coast much).

Things has change a bit for me... now I'm at a point where to get gear, some gear need to go.

Gonna be working overtime until it's closed at work. Hopefully I'll get at least a little money to myself for something that way
