You decide. Pretend you have to choose between the following two options, give your answer then add a new option at the bottom of the list. Keep going, copying and pasting the list so all the options continue on one page. That way people who have answered once can come back and answer again, if they want.

Select which item you'd give up. Make the items comparable in terms of financial impact to a budget or lifestyle chage. For instance, it isn't fair to ask if you'd give up orange or you house - the two aren't very comparable. It is fair to ask if you would give apples or oranges, though.

Here are a few to get started...

If you had to choose between either of the following, which would you give up ...

1) underwear (panties and bra) or make-up?
2) internet or cable / satellite TV?
3) celebrating Christmas (or your equivalent blow-out holiday) or celebrating your birthday?
4) your water heater or your A/C?
5) sugar or salt?
6) working stove or working microwave?
7) working washing machine or working dishwasher?
8- If you had to choose to make ends meet, would you take in a roommate (give up your privacy) or get an extra part-time job (give up your freedom)?
9) alcohol or cigarettes?
10) coffee or chocolate?

I'd give up ...

1) underwear (panties and bra) or make-up? Make-up, my husband doesn't like it on me anyway and I definately need a bra.

2) internet or cable / satellite TV? TV. I'm not sure I could live without the internet.

3) celebrating Christmas (or your equivalent blow-out holiday) or celebrating your birthday? I could pass on Christmas, DD would probably miss it, though.

4) your water heater or your A/C? A/C even though it would be tough.

5) sugar or salt? Bye-bye sugar.

6) working stove or working microwave? working stove

7) working washing machine or working dishwasher? working dishwasher

8) If you had to choose to make ends meet, would you take in a roommate (give up your privacy) or get an extra part-time job (give up your freedom)? I'd get a part-time job. I NEED my privacy and hate roommates.

9) alcohol or cigarettes? Cigarettes - easy, I don't smoke

10) coffee or chocolate? Neither? It would have to be chocolate

11) fruit or vegetables? Veggies. I LOVE fruit and really miss it when winter comes along and the selection is much more limited.

12) shaving or haircuts?
