Lots. I could downgrade my car, downgrade or get rid of TV & XBOX 360, quit going out to lunch at work (just bring lunch), quit spending so much money at clubs and downgrade my apartment. I could not live without my guitars though.

Direct TV would be the first to go...if I had to get rid of something.

I really don't have, IMO, that many luxuries. Direct TV and Cable Internet...and if I have to get rid of my internet I might as well just shoot myself.

I guess I have my house. That would have to go before the internet as well.

cell phone (at least the data plan), i'd drop cable tv, i'd drive less, eat out much much less, cancel blockbuster instore membership, instantly tear up any credit cards I have ( to prevent abuse), probably gym membership and just run outside, and I'd probably start selling electronics i have but don't need.
