Trade-offs

• Getting a smaller house, instead of a bigger house

• Getting a cheaper car, than a more expensive and “in style” car

• Getting less TV channels, because I could only afford a certain number

• Getting a cheaper health insurance, I may not be as secured as I need to be. I will end up paying more when it comes to emergencies.
