Financial Woes

Coming from a household of seven and sometimes eight, you can imagine how hard it can be to feed, clothe, and house all of us. Our bills have recently become outrageous and like most people, we’ve been living outside of our means. We haven’t meant to but money is a lot tighter since my step-dad lost his job almost a year ago. He has vigilantly looking ever since and has put in an endless amount of applications with no call backs which makes my heart go out to him. One of the things we’ve done to cut back on our monthly expenses is reducing our cable package down back to basic plus HBO. We were going to go back to basic but it equaled the same amount with HBO since our DVR was included in that package. We also looked for cheap car insurance since our current auto insurance was getting to be ridiculous to pay. Thankfully we found a great deal through Progressive and have enjoyed paying almost $100 cheaper with our new plan! We also have been eating more cost effective meals, too. Hopefully, we will find even more ways to save money!
