Nice one I was indeed influenced by MMM... (that was the only emoticon I could find with a mustache...). We live pretty frugally in general (the house move was a downsize from 4br detached to 3br townhome, less sqft). But I haven't given up cable TV yet, and I won't be retiring early.

The car is a 2002 VW GTI, so it's already small, and old (by American ******wagon standards). I don't know the exact numbers but we got the insurance as low as possible by reporting the truly miniscule annual mileage. (Not sure where I'm at so far, but I bet less than 1000mi this year)
