[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the shutdown and furlough, DH is imploring me to cut expenses.  I think I am bare bone as it is.  Here is what I spent last month for our family of three.

Credit card payments:  $689.00
Groceries:                     616.45
General Merchandise:     466.13
Gas:                             258.60
Cell Phone:                   191.01
ATM Withdrawals:            80.29
Other:                           345.61

Total:                         $2647.09

Honestly, you cannot be serious that this is "bare bones." Bare bones means NO eating at restaurants, no smart phones, no new clothes (even used ones).

If your husband is honestly worried about this shut-down, start making minimum payments on the credit card, stop buying clothes ENTIRELY, no new toys, no new puzzle books, no "General Merchandise", no eating out. Your grocery bill is sufficient for a month for a family of 3. Honestly, you can shave of $1,000 a month with no trouble.

Respect your husband enough to stop blowing through your family's money![/quote]
