Feel free to add your own sob stories. Maybe your other Porsche wants for a full valet this week? Are you cutting down on vintage Champagne this week?

Please share.

I've cut back on £1000 an hour "companions". I've tended to go for the £750 ones recently.

We've had to cut back severely.

The cleaner only comes in 5 days a week now.
We've cut back to only 4 tins of Beluga caviare a week
The dog walking service is cut back to 3 times a day
We fill the wife's 5ltr 4x4 with petrol from Tesco now instead of the BP garage
The Roll's and the 4X4 are now only valeted 3 times a week
We missed out on the Cannes film festival because we really couldn't afford to lease the whole top floor of the hotel there.
We have started to collect our own shopping from Harrod's to save on delivery costs.
We can't even afford to have the fresh salmon flown down from Scotland any more.
Where/when will this end?

I hate this living in poverty
