Ya in retrospect 2 years was a stretch, but 1 year seems feasible. I elaborated on entertainment in another comment, basically anything I'd spend on non-hobbyist watching or listening in real life or digital, video games, over a year. I could probably include concerts, but that's something I'd let myself spend more on if finances permitted. Some food expenses would fit between those categories. Vacations excluded.
