It costs to work. Clothes , car upkeep, gas, eating out....I figure it won't take us as much. Most of our big bills should be paid off by then. I'm "trying" to put half of my check in savings. I figure that way I'm saving but also it shows what we can live on. You might try it. Have a set part put back and forget about it like you didn't have it. No emergencies. You will soon know what you have to have and where to cut back.
It's sure worth a try. And, yes, it does cost to work :) If I can get major bills paid by this July, I'll give it a try. I've cut back alot already in so far as eating out, new clothes, etc. I really am determined to do this :)
