[quote=Anonymous]If clothing falls in General and Other includes dining, entertainment, etc. and groceries are separate -- what else is going on the credit card? Is $600/month just to pay off the balance or are you spending on the credit card each month also? It will take time to make changes, but start off small. How many times a week are you eating out? Cut it in half. Same with Starbucks if you're a coffee person. Also, I think you can go 1-2 months with no clothing purchases. After that re-assess how much you've saved and see what other savings measures you can add. Assuming your DH is going back to work (not a contractor), this will be over at some point, so it doesn't seem like you need to go paycheck to paycheck right this second but it does seem like you can cut back pretty easily.[/quote]
