[quote=Anonymous]I would keep paying down the CC, that's really necessary for your long term financial health.

I would cut the thrift shop/clothing/shoe budget - can you pledge to go a whole month without buying any new apparel, house decor, or even stepping foot in a thrift shop?

I would also switch out of the almost $200/month phone plan. If you're stuck in a 2 year contract, there are usually items that you have flexibility to cut - insurance for the phone which isn't generally a good deal, texting plans, reduce your data plan, etc.

I sympathize with you and your DH. I, the DW, spent a year as the primary breadwinner while DH looked for a proper job and sitting around home all day, he'd notice all these little things in the house that "needed" to be fixed, replace, or upgraded. He was spending $200/month on random Amazon purchases. It drove me nuts! He would counter that it's all necessary, much like you are OP, but somehow once he got a good office job that keeps him occupied, somehow there were just fewer things around the home that needed fixing.
