Cutting back isn't as hard as it sounds!

Easy as 1,2,3 claims the Motley Fool article How to Retire Faster . I've tried many of the tips and techniques outlined in the article, and it was quite easy to cut back 10-20% without much effort. Eating out less, cutting monthly services, cut out a dinner or latte here and there, it all adds up to a substantial savings. Consider how much $5 a week adds up to ($260) or how much your $70 cable bill ($840) is costing you. Ask yourself, what services can you do without? What would you do with $ 900 a year if you didn't watch as much TV or drink as many Lattes?
