A HUGE chunk of that thanks to my husband. Thank goodness its illegal to sell cute little children, because I would have gotten a pretty penny for my son. We started cooking at home more, a big issue for us was eating out. Sell stuff, say no to vacations and eating out, and just get through this time.

And eating out wasn’t the exception for me then. We don’t eat out often, but I like to cook. Thankful Thursday” and “A day in the life”. I took them out of my drawer and threw them into the hamper, feeling quite pleased with myself. Taxi rides, tailored clothes, and massages, just to name a few.

That means you may not have room to pack it on your way home. I generally show up at my destination and take a trip to the store on the first day to shop for breakfast foods, because that's the easiest meal to make and the least exciting to me to eat out. I thank you in advance if you do.

We take time to sit down together go over our zero based budget and discuss any expenses we may have. After 2 years of determination we decided that we would take a month off and with any of our extra earnings splurge fun activities with the kids, eat out and go on lots of dates:). Keeps us aligned together with our finances.

We are very blessed that my husband earns enough so that I have been able to stay at home and homeschool–so my “why” in saving money is to balance that out. I figure I may not be “earning” money, but I can earn by saving. Thank you, Kristen, for all you do with your blog!

Firstly, I was offered a better-paid job but needed a vehicle to get there, so I took out a loan to buy one.
