I’d love to tie my right shoe first, other than that I can’t think of anything.
On a more serious note, when it comes to many gashmiyus items I look around sometimes and think that it I wasn’t frum I’d be a slave to my yetzer hora and have no freedom. Shabbos may be difficult at times (when the alarm clock goes off at 6:00 A.M. or if the AC gets unplugged) but I wouldn’t give it up for anything.
There is something that I did give up though. We were offered a discount somewhere by a manager on the condition that we pay in cash. It sounded fishy to me so I asked my R”Y first. He said it wasn’t illegal since it would have been reported as paid in cash (and if we are given a receipt he can’t hide the transaction) but it’s still ossur since it’s stealing from all the shareholders.
