FYI since Hollywood exposed themselves I cut back going to the movies. Last week I realized I saved $85,000+ since 2015!

I used to have the saying "Go big or stay home" My family used to see movies weekly often more than one. Used to see movies on a guys night or take multiple trips with different groups. No longer.

An IMAX 3D is $23.50 For my parents, 3 kids, my wife and myself it cost $154 just in tickets and another $42 in concessions. Then we'd go out to eat , seven people $200 a dinner. So each time we went out we spent $400. Did this nearly every week sometimes twice a week. Two teachers together we make over $200k a year. We have absurd credit limits since we spent so much and paid it off.

Hollywood turned us off so much we stayed home, cooked in, spent more time together doing other activities.

Saved enough for a new car (paid cash,) martial arts classes, and other hobbies. Building a Hot Rod and other fun contraptions.

And still INCREASED my savings by $60,000 in the bank since end of 2015. Debating on getting 2 motorcycles for my wife and I.

It's NOT peanuts. DTXbro. It adds up fast. If you have a brain DTXbro calculate it.

We still see a few movies per year but a fraction of like we did just 3 years ago. Been smiling a hell of a lot more since I realized how much I saved.

I have a brain - I wouldn't spend 23.50 for ANY movie regardless how good it is. {nm} JDolphin Jul 08, 15:54

Spoken like someone that clearly doesn't understand what making 200k affords you with 3 kids you way over shot the numbers {nm} NineTailFox Jul 08, 16:35
