Are you living above your means?

Many of us today live way above our means?
Many of us say we just want ends to meet and true enough that is a want but, ends don't meet!
I sat down a couple of m0nth ago and decided to list all of our expenses and I was truly saddened!
I decided to cut back on my expenses and take control of what I was spending. I budgeted $300 for all of my utilities. I called up the utility companies and said this is what I have to spend if I can't get a plan or a package within that range, I can't be your customer anymore. Well it WORKED! The power company wasn't going for it but they did say I can do budget billing! My satellite bill went from $80 a month to $33 and my cell phone bill went from $200 to $99 a month. The only reason why my cell phone bill is so high is because I have four lines.
I want to know if any of you are willing to sacrifice and save for what you want.
I am! It has been really hard but I know that I will get what I want in the end!
I want to know what you want and are your willing to sacrifice to get it? What are you willing to give up to get the big picture?
