Skinny and I have been attempting to eat healthy and exercise but we're getting ready to start a diet. Not a food diet. A money diet. We cut the cable yesterday-kept internet of course cause I need it for my business (and to blog this amazing blog...).
We still have more bills than I would like. I guess for me it's hard to understand that for years I had more money than I anticipated. When I was single, I had room, food, phone, gas....my insurance was paid, the bills were all split between multiple people. Now it's me and him and it's gotten more expensive than I expected.
I never knew how much pest control was....I never knew how much house insurance was...I never knew how much cable was...It's always been included in the apartment where I would live.
I don't regret buying a house or doing upgrades that we've made. I don't regret paying off the cars or buying any of the furniture.
Skinny's boss has maxed out his salary. To me, that's insane. If we're going to have to survive the next several decades on his income not changing, we'll need to go ahead and start pinching pennies.
So the newest diet begins September 1st. I have 14 days to reassess everything I do, find a new way to bring in more income, and learn to be satisfied with it all.
No more tapping into savings. No more "it's just a couple bucks." It's on...like donkey kong.
And part of my theory is that it will probably help the waistband too.
