It's just plain easier to pick up take out than cook. That's what I reminded myself this morning. I have to be out all day, and was thinking I would pick up Chinese on the way home, around $15- $20. Then I remembered that I had everything I needed to make a soup in the crockpot, so I put it all together, and I already had a pan of cornbread made. Sometimes it's just taking a few extra minutes to save a few dollars. As far as income goes, I am finding that it takes just as much for our family to live with one 19 year old at home, as it did when all three kids were home.

He's a Christian Financial Counselor and he has such good ideas about budgeting, etc. You can look him up on the internet and find a radio station he's on.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064622532512376013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609957991100287914.post-13997090402913117992012-08-17T15:00:26.572-07:002012-08-17T15:00:26.572-07:00Oh boy... after reading this I feel horrible about...Oh boy... after reading this I feel horrible about resenting if I have to give up "savings" or "fun" money if our rent goes up again next year. *blush* I posted my new budget today & I am very grateful for all God has given me, but you're right, money sitting in the bank and "fun" money are luxuries. ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609957991100287914.post-73117992110228339842012-08-17T10:55:22.167-07:002012-08-17T10:55:22.167-07:00Very impressive.
