We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. Eating out or going to a movie were once a year events. We especially never put anything consumable (like gas, food, eating out, movies and etc) on a credit card.

Daniel took on an extra job doing support work for an online company that he could do from home. We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. It’s feels nice to spend money on a date night out.

days I was there – I only needed to eat out for 2 dinners during the whole trip. Hosting garage sales & reselling items. If I hadn’t gotten pregnant, I would have continued on to nursing school once my husband was done with grad school, but that just didn’t turn out to be our path.
