My cousins BD has just passed......I haven't seen her (or want too) in 40 years.

We have sent cards since we were children........But I will not spend money on a birthday card. A blank note that I have in the house will do.....

Political campaigns.

That's a hard question. Hubby and I have worked very hard for what we have. Now in retirement years when money is no object we have learned that we only buy what we need.

A fancy car.

Expensive cuts of meat.  If I lived alone I would not buy it at all.  If hubby wants steak, he will buy it cuz I will not.  I can live without it.

Grocery bags, I live in NY where the plastic grocery bags are banned.  You either have to bring your own bags or purchase bags from the store.  The charge is 5 -7 cents per bag.  I sometime forget to bring my own bag but will not pay for the store bags.  If I forget I just have the cashier put my groceries back in my cart unbagged, and I bagged them when I get to my car.

The purchase of a house that is out of our comfort zone.  Years ago we decided we weren't going to be house poor.  We purchased a nice house in a good neighborhood but it isn't large and it isn't fancy.  We were able to pay if off in a short amount of time.  

I never wanted to live beyond our means.  Being comfortable and having a nest egg in the bank always meant more to me than a fancy house.

As much as I love to read, I don't buy books.  I read so much I can go thru a $27.95 book in two or three days and be ready for another one.  I would be spending a fortune on books.  I don't want to re-read them either nor have the room to store them

I look for "Coming Soon" at Barnes and Nobel website and reserve books I want to read at the library.  

My brother always bought books and when he downsized he had boxes and boxes of books to pack up and get rid of.
