Don't save money -- eliminate whole categories, like travel

It's useful to evaluate your life and think, not "where can I save money?" but "where can I not spend at all?" I tried to hang on to the pre-baby travel schedule -- weekends at a bed & breakfast, occasional jaunts to San Francisco or Chicago or New York -- but really? I'm way happier now that I see a weekend coming and think about spending time at the farmer's market, or just sitting around the house baking cookies and knitting, instead of how I need to pack and plan and travel.
