[quote=Anonymous]I was tempted to cut back ours savings contributions but resisted the temptation, we made a couple changes instead to makeup the difference. 1.) cut cable and go Hulu (net savings of 74 a month) 2.) dropped our smart phones, we were lucky here bc our contracts had been up for awhile, obv it's harder to make this switch when you are mid contract (net savings of 118 a month) 3.) cut grocery budget by 20a week, did this clean and simple by cutting meat down to once a week (net savings of 80 a month) 4.) skimmed 10 bucks off our wknd money, this basically translated to cutting the Saturday bagel run (net savings of 40 a month). These steps help the gap somewhat and we try and just keep a lid on other usual expected expenses and cut where we can. Kids aren't gonna get Easter outfits, I dyed my own roots this week, stuff like that. I'm actually enjoying the extra time off work and not really missing the stuff too much.[/quote]
