[quote=Anonymous]I know you don't ask for help with budgeting but here is what I have done to cut cost at my house to give you some idea if you haven't done so. If you financial situation gets better, you probably get less stress and are better.
I am not in DC so it may not apply to you
-Netflix instead of cable TV
-Cell phones instead of Home phone line
-Go with smaller Internet provider, they usually have better price. 
-Quick grocery trip to buy reduced price products (because they think it will go bad sooner but they are still to good for up to 3 days in the fridge) to cook but don't attempt to buy other things or it will be costly instead of saving. 
-I saved up to buy vacuum robot to vacuum the house, it is was totally worth it IMO, but your house need to be vacuum robot friendly meaning no cluster or it may get stuck. 
-Make coffee at home, it costs 1/10+ of buying coffee daily(even the cheapest coffee out there) 
-Eat breakfast at home (I usually eat dinner left over, I know some of you may think it's gross but it is food anyway and filling), bring lunch. 
-Stop buying soda (I was given soda stream as gift and make my own bubbly flavor water). 
-Don't bring snack to work or cash to buy them but bring lot of water or maybe fruit/yogurt
-I ask my cousin for clothing (we are in similar size and she is richer than me with load of clothes and some of them are still brand new)
-Look for easy recipes, slow cooker recipes to save time on cooking
