Cutting everywhere and anywhere. Adjusting the thermostat. Planning purchases in advance, not buying many frivolous items. . . . Fixing things instead of replacing when available. Simply doing without in many cases. . . .

I work. We spend less than I make.
My wife has been a stay at home mom for about a decade. She's going back to work in the Fall. About 25 hours a week. Perfect job, a permanent substitute teacher at my son's elementary school. She'll float around from classroom to classroom, wherever they need her. And be home around the same time as the kids get back from school. We had been doing the belt tightening for so long, there wasn't anything left to tighten. |
