jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If we are talking about corporate spending, then it's best to cut overhead costs, because direct labor or direct materials are harder to cut since a cut in these areas would cause a reduction in output production.

If we are talking about personal spending, then, it's best to cut sumptuary expenses like eating out, or taking expensive vacations. Utilities, rent, and debt are harder to cut.
