Where can I cut back?

Shopping runs about $1,248 a month, making it the largest flexible area to trim back. Transportation runs about $923 a month, offering the second largest opportunity for reduction. The main caveat is that since the current month's spending of $7,279 is below the typical month's $11,758, focus on optimizing spending rather than reacting to overspending. For a smaller review, check the Netflix price increase, which is $18 now compared to a previous $15.
