Money is always tight for me, so I dont eat out much or buy unnecessary things and I already decline health coverage through my job b/c I cant afford it, so the first thing to go would have to be cable. Im already living bare minimum as it is.. lol

Amy you might be interested in the AmeriPlan discount program for your family. It is VERY affordable. Let me know if you would like to look into the programs.

Lately instead of using the debit card everytime we go out, we have been taking out a certain amount of money and that's are weekly spending money.

Hi Chelle, that's funny that you mentioned that because my husband and I decided to do that with our groceries and other misc. purchases. It should make bank recon. alot easier too.

We haven't had gym memberships for years, so we cut out our cable. I don't even miss it. We used to go out to eat almost twice a week and do takeout every day that was the first to go. now I make food like spaghetti that will make left overs for days. We only go out for our birthdays and our anniversary. We also only take 20.00 out of the atm every week and once we spend it it is gone and we don't go get anymore that has helped us a lot.
