OK. Any NEW ideas? :)

Seriously, I was the oldest of five and we had very little. My dad’s job was decent enough but still, my mom had to work part time to make ends meet, so I’m pretty used to scrimping to get by.

The problem is two kids in college and one more on the way.

Oh I’m just thinking out loud - those are things I’m doing now.

My next projet this week is phone service. We are paying too much, and I’m going to weigh my options there and see what I come up with.

We also have changed withholding so we’ve got more money coming in.

College - we have one in college now and one in high school, 3 in elementary and 2 babies at home.

Our oldest spent her first year at community college.
She spent last semester at a state school in the dorms, and hated it, so now she’s back at community college this semester.

When she is done at the 2 yr. school she will most likely commute to a nearby state university.
