I know, we love going out to eat, but it’s definitely not a necessity. But there’s nothing as good as home cooked meals. i just don’t like having to clean up after them 🙂

The first thing we cut was eating out, which we miss, but it really made a difference and I love cooking at home more often!

We try to allow for some fun money here and there. We’ve got money that we set aside for some fun summer activities, so it’s nice to have that!

I cut mine right down to the bone when our income dropped, but it’s definitely important to allow yourself some fun money!

Since I stay home with our son and my hubby doesn’t make a ton we’ve done a lot of these to make our budget work for us!

And I agree start early! I knew before having kids I wanted to be a SAHM. So we made sure to save up some money to get us through the first year. After learning how to budget and live within our means that first year, we were able to stretch my SAHM gig from one year to five. Once we paid off our cars we didn’t run out to get new ones. Our cars are older but still in good shape and we enjoy not paying a car payment. We also unbundled our services- and only use our cable provider for Internet service. It saves us over $100/month this way. We also kept our older cell phones (not smart phones) for a really long time before upgrading to new ones. There is so much we don’t need that we’ve learned to cut out!

That’s great Kayla! It can definitely be hard to cut back, but we’ve found that once you get used to it, you hardly miss the things you cut back on.
