If it breaks, consider taking it in to get a repair. This will mean less strain on both motors, as the washer won’t have as much clothing at once and the dryer will run less often. If it’s nice outside, try hang-drying your clothes to avoid the extra wear altogether.

She borrowed money to satisfy the city when they cited her for repairs that needed to be done on the house. She charged up credit cards to buy food and clothing. Her gas is turned off, she heats water in the kitchen to shower, and dries her clothes on the line. Borrow Money You Can’t Pay Back. Discontinue Insurance.

And while I don’t like parting with our money, I am grateful that this repair won’t send us into financial distress. How would you pay for an unexpected car repair? Can you fix a repair yourself? I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores.

Nor is buying food we don’t need that just gets thrown away. Instead of getting caught up in the moment of a sale at your favorite clothing store, it’s important to come back down to reality for a moment and truthfully ask “Do I really need this?” I would say the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Question #1: Do I need it?

If we wanted extra money for something like school clothes or makeup, we were given a chore to earn it. If we stopped at 7-Eleven or picked up fast food, he’d take that notebook out and write down what was spent before driving away. Food is a major expense! It was rarely just handed out. It’s that simple!

We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too. Two “small” ones come to mind- my first car & first motorcycle-owned for a while, did a few small repairs & sold for what I paid. We have several food intolerances/needs so cooking is just mostly easier/cheaper.

I also downsized my lifestyle and sold extra furniture, clothes, and jewelry, on Craigslist. I did the regular budget audit and cut things out like entertainment, fast food, and going out with friends. On the flip side, I ate a lot of cheap food while I was paying off debt, and definitely don’t do that now.
