I am cheating and raising my standard of living a little bit, about $1k per year because that will still leave me above a 70% savings rate. Also, I am spending about $300 to get all new clothing from ebay and the thrift store. I recently lost some weight and although I thought I could make what I have work, there have been a few moments where "private parts" almost make an appearance! I almost lost my pants while walking through the airport!
