Tough Times
Not very long ago, the Sotomayor family watched their neighbors to see who was buying more stuff—more new cars,
more furniture, even more meals at good restaurants. Nowadays, neighbors are watching each other to see who can spend
less.
In tough economic times, consumers see prices going up while their salaries stay the same. They’re looking at their old
spending habits for anything that’s not a necessity. Brent Boyle is the author of the 2009 book Spending Less and Living
More. Boyle says that families are giving up luxuries and saving money they need for the necessities of life.
In the Sotomayor family, father Robert has given up his gym membership. “Why pay over $600 per year and then drive to
the gym?” Instead, Robert walks more places and rides his bicycle to work. The family still owns two cars, but they traded
in their gas-hungry SUV for a two-year-old economy car. “A new car loses about half of its value in the first two or three
years,” says Robert. So instead of paying of paying $22,000 for a brand-new car, they paid $14,000 for a car that should
still run for many years.
The family is also cutting back on the little things. Robert’s wife Lilia is making coffee at home every morning rather than
spending over $3 on the mocha lattes she used to buy. That five-day-a-week habit was costing around $750 per year! Lilia
is also bringing her lunch to work every day instead of paying restaurant prices. She’s too embarrassed to say how much
she used to spend on lunch, but the savings on home-cooked meals over restaurant meals can be quite significant.
According to Boyle, most families can find ways to save if they’re willing to give up a few of life’s luxuries. Buying
ordinary blue jeans for $20 can save $80 or more compared to the price of designer jeans. Renting videos and watching
them at home only costs a few dollars, but a family of four can easily spend $30 at the movie theater. And one of the
easiest luxuries to cut out? Everything you drink that isn’t water. “People don’t really need all the soda, flavored vitamin
waters, and fruit juices that they’re drinking,” says Boyle. “It’s kind of like pouring money down the drain.”

12. The book Spending Less and Living More was published in ___________________________________________.
13. The Sotomayor family’s economy car cost ___________________________________ dollars.
