Geno, I'm sort of doing the same thing. About a year ago, got a roommate....moved into a place where they pay for basic cable and internet, etc. No washer/dryer, no dishwasher. Very close to work.
Its not too bad and its really inexpensive. Did have a setback last spring....broke my ankle and it prob cost me about $3,000 total but at least I had insurance.
Thinking of upgrading back to digital cable and DVR soon though. Its only an upgrade so its something like $50/month for cable and internet combined.
I'm both trying to get out of debt and also in the long run....retire early (in my 50's I hope....long way to go).
