What do wealthy people cut out when "inflation" hits?

This article is laughable at best.  This author says she can save $12,975 THIS SUMMER by cutting certain things out of their budget.  When I read that I thought, “WHAT?  She can really trim that much fat?”  Turns out she lives a pretty posh life, and she didn’t want to tell her children they couldn’t have their normal $5k vacation this year due to “inflation”.  They’re going to get a $400 vacation instead. 

While all of these tips are great ways to cut back (and yay that they can live comfortably), I really don’t think they resonate with most people who simply don’t have that kind of money to throw around in the first place.  I mean, this family normally spends money on things like repainting their house every year or feeding all the bbq guests steaks instead of hamburgers at their 10+ bbqs per summer.

Thoughts?
