The hardest thing about saving money is finding where you can trim your spending.Alot of times somebody who is good at budgeting and not tied into you emotionally an offer this unbiased advice.I guarantee you will not enjoy hearing it. We all have our little things that we hold dear and it is hard to hear that we need to give them up or trim them down (even for a little while).Eliminate every payment you can - maybe even by selling the item. If it is something that you need, consider selling the one that you have a payment on and then repurchasing a much cheaper model (either with cash or with a much smaller payment).Sometimes people are so busy working that they cannot take time to see the real fix.A pastor of a small church is alot of times very good in this area. If they are not, I'll bet they could point you to somebody who is.The very worst thing you can do is just keep doing what you are doing right now - obviously it isn't working!May God Bless You Both!
 
She can't pay the bills and she wants a wash machine and a vacation??!! Ever hear of washing in the tub and hanging the clothes to dry?Buy all your clothes and household things at yard sales and thift stores. You should get a job, too.Try getting rid of cable tv and internet, too. Stop smoking?
