Thats a tough question. I would like to eat out less, but haveing a two hour break inbetween classes is hard not to grab a bite to eat. Today I actually packed my own lunch! Its probably been about four years sense the last time I brown bagged it! I also try not to drive as much in general. I really wish public transportation came out to where I live, but it doesnt even come close. Thats what I get for living in the boondocks!!! Anyways, I dont do too much to answer your question. Although I am a month and a half ahead on my car payments, so if there is ever a moth I absolutley cant pay, I wont be penalized! What is it you do to save money Ipetges?

Sounds like you are on the right track. I wish I had something I could cut down on, but I dont think there is much I could stop doing

well, i try to keep our heating bills down by burning lots of fires in the fireplace,.. i don't eat out very often. and i try also to keep the driving to a minimum, and get much accomplished when i do drive somewhere. we rent movies instead of going to the movies., and i quit doing my nails. thats a big savings alone. i try and do as much with our budget as possible.
