We've learned to budget and chill out on things we "want." Life's better now, I'd say.

It's a great book to read even if you have zero debt or are trying to get your finances in order. Someone mentioned couponing as well...and I'd definitely recommend it! There are coupons out there for just about everything and you can save a TON of money if you learn how to do it right. I've learned to coupon and cut our groceries down from $200 a week to $40-50 every two weeks.Elsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617632388813636752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343213326221208853.post-83162913518384973482011-05-26T17:29:52.428-05:002011-05-26T17:29:52.428-05:00Mint.com has been really helpful for us in being a...Mint.com has been really helpful for us in being able to save $$.

I'm now following you.<br /><br />I think it's definitely possible to cut back and change your ways with spending. I'm not house-hunting quiet yet, but am in the market for a new car. I keep a small picture of the car I want in my wallet so I have to look at it before I grab my debit card. That alone has saved me all kinds of money.<br /><br />Hope you have a great day. I'd love for you to stop by and say hi as well.<br /><br />Adelaide@Norwegian Phoenix<br /><br />http://norwegianphoenix.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354825304373481718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343213326221208853.post-18606947243752629602011-05-26T01:21:27.912-05:002011-05-26T01:21:27.912-05:00Stoping by from Thurs blog hop, Hope you get a cha...Stoping by from Thurs blog hop, Hope you get a chance to return the follow, <br />mamawanasave.com<br />Thanks so much<br />Blessings<br />MamaMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14041474972569156021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343213326221208853.post-16111619644262362422011-05-26T00:50:31.381-05:002011-05-26T00:50:31.381-05:00You can do it!

Also, see if you can not buy a single new THING for a certain amount of time (clothes, shoes, household items). How long can you go with just buying basics *needs*? It's become something of a game for me :) Sure I'd rather have a pile of money, but since I don't, I play myself a litle bankin' Sudoku ;)Dwija {House Unseen}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17887429052179249473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343213326221208853.post-7780566491991198672011-05-26T00:41:47.697-05:002011-05-26T00:41:47.697-05:00Well, welcome to my life!
