I think I have tried this for real ..when I was unemployed for 18 months...a few years ago. It was tough..because I started to obsess about just buying a cup of coffee. I think I bought myself a pair of leather, tie-up shoes ..and a dress jacket...in terms of clothing within that time period. Oh yea, forgot about the pair of running shoes also. Very practical pieces of clothing. Thank goodness I already have a sizable wardrobe..but not necessarily the most fashionable.

Oh yea, I forgot..I had to get a haircut.

The reality was I had no interest in dipping into my savings big time during that time period. That is for the future when I get old and frail.
