Finance question:
If you had to cut back on what you spent on a monthly basis, which of these would you reduce your spending on: food, clothing, entertainment, or healthcare? Why that area?

toughie... rarely to i ever
toughie... rarely to i ever buy clothes, or entertain myself (that sounds weird). i guess food. i have no idea why - maybe because i never want to be caught off-guard.

I was thinking healthcare,
I was thinking healthcare, simply because I view healthcare as being a combo of medicine, exercise, and any miscellaneous stuff ( like vitamins, suppliments, and the like.) I can exercise at home with an exercise ball, a pair of running shoes, and the law of gravity; my medication I can get subsidized. It's the easiest thing to cut back in my mind.
Food would also be easy, but it depends on how big of a gastrophile you are. I don't think I could handle cutting myself off from Endangered Species chocolate. Eating generic brands doesn't really bother me that much, nor does switching from organic to conventional produce; I can notice a difference in the quality, but a lot of it can be made up by buying locally grown stuff anyway.
Clothing is a given for me, because I too don't tend to buy a lot of clothes. Entertainment, on the other hand... you can have my iTunes season pass to House when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
