There was the gas, the hotel, and the restaurants to pay for. We thought eating in restaurants was a main attraction of travel because you get to try local foods. However, most of the time, we only had money for the low cost restaurants, so they were all one greasy spoon after another. Go Frugal Travel Tips'

My husband and I were graduate students with loans and credit card debt, and we were certain that a higher income would solve all of our problems. Now, all of a sudden, we had enough money that we could try nicer restaurants. We both like to eat out. However, this isn’t always the case. We make plenty!”

The debt included about $30,000 in student loans, some medical debt, IRS debt, and a small amount on a credit card. We definitely spend a lot more money on eating out at restaurants and using babysitters now that we are debt free. It’s feels nice to spend money on a date night out. How long did it take you?

If you spend $100 per week on eating out, that is $100 worth of money you can be putting towards your credit card debt. 100 a week will buy you 2 to 3 meals at a restaurant, but that same amount of money will buy you two weeks’ worth of groceries. That is $100 a week you can be using to BUY GROCERIES!

We thankfully have always been good about paying off our credit cards each month. We started making a monthly cash budget and paying with cash instead of credit or debit cards. We also stopped eating out and even went on regular spending freezes. Stop eating out. Was there a particular event?

Personally, I like having an overall budget because trying to keep track of what we spend every day stresses me out. We usually go with one empty credit card, put everything on that ONE card so it’s easy to keep track of, and try our best not to go over our spending goal. Be sure to check first.

Many years ago, our cash flow sucked, we put Christmas on a credit card, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to pay for a large tax bill. Some items are fixed and are recurring each month, but other things are variable (change month to month) such as groceries, heating/cooling, clothing, restaurants. Total your expenses.

And this is just on a mortgage, not including any credit card or student loan debt. I LOVE dining out, so this is what allowed us to enjoy that, but not spend a lot of money. We still use coupons 75% of the time we dine out. It’s now hard to spend full price at a restaurant when we rarely ever have.
