I'm looking to interview people who have made a calculated decision to cut certain expense categories (getting rid of a car, stopping eating out, canceling a gym membership, quitting buying clothes, etc.) to cope with the rising cost of living. With gas prices spiking, grocery costs up more than 25 percent since 2020, and prices outpacing wages in many areas, I'm curious about people's decisions to reprioritize their spending.
