Save More



Everyone seems to be cutting their budget, and these Stringers are no different. We started with an on-paper budget about five years ago, and what an eye opener! Charting our spending and saving habits has made it easy to see where and when to cut and save. Reading Dave Ramsey's book The Total Money Makeover set a fire of committment under me. So this year, I'm challenging myself to cut my spending even more.

It's actually fun, like a game or puzzle. Can I do with $50 less in groceries? Do I dare cut $50 from our "fun" category? Saving is fun when you can see the end result: paying off a loan, adding to vacation savings, etc. Any suggestions?
