Hello joined the community a few days ago...Trying to get hints and advice on how to live comfortable on a lower income. Recently have lost about $600 a month due to my partner changing positions at work. So now the income that we budgeted on is null and void...any who enough of that.
Ways that I have now learned to cut back on and still enjoy life is RedBox movies (popular here in TX) you can rent a new release movie for a buck....pop some popcorn and sit back and enjoy the time with your someone special.
With my bank it has a program called "keep the change" its where they round up to the nearest dollar and put it in your savings...I can save up to 10-15 dollars in a month and never realize it.
I use a crock pot during the summer...keeps the house cooler by not using the stove and my meal is already cooked when I get home from work gives me more time to spend doing other things.
Just a few things that I do to save on money and still have a enjoyable life....
