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. Make your own coffee.

Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. Use Cash I like to use cash while on vacation, because I am less tempted to buy useless souvenirs and over spend with a credit card, but it takes a little planning to come up with the cash that we need.

You know you shouldn’t be using credit cards all the time. But there is no way you are going to give up cable, the cell phone, eating out or your gym membership. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. If you are bringing in less than you spend, you need to fix that fast.

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.

Carrie worked at H&R Block during tax season and flipped yard sale finds for a profit on eBay. Tracy put her sales commissions and tax returns towards debt. I have made hundreds of dollars at yard sales and usually use the money to pay for our vacation spending. This helped her not blow the budget on dining out.

Firstly, I was offered a better-paid job but needed a vehicle to get there, so I took out a loan to buy one. At the same time my credit card debt was slowly creeping upward too thanks to my minimal income. That meant no vacations, no new clothes, no eating out, nothing. Initially it all seemed fine.
