...happen, the bigger the cuts you have to make. While eliminating a daily latte will do a bit of good, you'll do better to focus on the dramatic. Do you really need that third car, for example? What if you cut back to basic cable or a bare-bones cell-phone plan, or (if you can't do that) got rid of your landline entirely? Perhaps this summer you could vacation at home instead of spending $2,000 for a week at the beach, or trade two weeks for a seven-day getaway...
...Naik, who live in the windowless space with their daughter Puja, 3, and a tiny new baby called Liza. The Naiks welcomed them, offering them the only seat in the unit--on the double bed that took up almost the entire room. The space was lit by a single bare lightbulb.

The artist's flat, hard-edged style and singular imagination owed nothing to anybody. His pictures could be ordinary or outrageous: he depicted the bourgeoisie wearing their Sunday best and he painted mysterious...
...Sometimes it’s tempting to rely on the bare bones rather than take the extra strides to make a story sparkle. When it comes to The Crimson, I guiltily confess to choosing function over fashion, but as my tenure winds down, I regret not taking more time to accessorize. I’m inspired by the devotion of my peers who have logged longer hours, battling unwieldy technology, cheering unhappy staffers, and not settling for lackluster ledes.
