There's not much room to wiggle. I need to cut back on impulse buys. For example. although I've wanted a camcorder to replace one that broke ten years ago, I held off buying one until May. It probably wasn't the best time to buy one, but I figured I've wanted it for long enough. In a new post, I'll show a table that clearly displays where my money is going each paycheck.
