I just avoid extravagances in general. Since I work at home, my driving is minimal, so I couldn't really cut back to any great extent. I do keep track of my cash flow. I check my account online at least once a week and whenever I make a deposit of withdrawal. So I'm cautious, but I'm not meticulous. Meticulous and me don't mix very well:-).
