Well, as much as somebody who works full time is ever able to be. Something that I’ve found throughout all of my trips to the many different places I’ve visited, is that food is always a cost that is hard to contain. How have you saved money on food while travelling? After all, you’ve got to eat! Daily Deal Sites.

I work full time in IT and my wife works part time in retail. It was all consumer debt spread over 5 credit cards. With those principals in mind, we enrolled in a debt management program (DMP) through our local credit union and reduced our interest rates on all of our credit cards and began paying them off.

My husband is an extremely hard worker as he works and goes to school full time. It started with $40,000 in consumer debt (vehicles, credit cards, small student loan) and then sold our home and eliminated the $140,000 of mortgage debt. We started cooking at home more, a big issue for us was eating out.

The Frugal Girl

Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.

I got tired of being left at home because I had a day job, so now we get to travel together and create our own adventures. After my first marriage fell apart, I ended up with over $14,000 of consumer debt, made up of a car loan and credit cards. I took on extra work outside of my full-time accounting job.
