Saving money help!
I am dying to be able to save a lot of money to help my hubby with saving for a house down payment....but don't make a ton at my job (that I love!)...does anybody have any tips or tricks to saving money? ex: coupons or extra side jobs....anything??
Re: Saving money help!
Absolutely post a budget if you want help 'finding' money like PP said. I'm going to add to her coupon matchup sites- I love Southernsavers.com Even if you don't live in her area, they are still really helpful to get great deals at Target, Walgreens CVS and several grocery stores.
There's a time/money trade off for things like coupons. I have a job I love, and it pays well enough, but it takes up so many hours of my life that to choose to spend time clipping coupons isn't worth the money I would save. My time is worth more than that (both in dollars and sanity). For some people it is.
Look for the things in your life that have tradeoffs that make sense. Cutting back on spending at movies or eating out might make a good impact, but not cost your quality time with your H or friends/family/etc. Cutting back cable will save money, and then you can enjoy more books or walks and improve your health! There are a million ways.
