My first action today was to cancel our HBO/Showtime subscription. This saves us $20 a month. Unfortunately our library does not offer movies to check out so... I will be keeping our Netflix account.
I have gone through my clothes and picked out the ones that no longer fit or that I no longer wear and will take them to Buffalo Exchange to either get cash or trade in for some new clothes. I will let you know how this field trip goes tomorrow.
I put an AD on Craig's List today to watch a child in my home a couple times a week. I have found a mom that wants me to watch her daughter 2 times a week. We are starting the babysitting next week on a trial basis. If this venture is successful I should bring in an extra $240 a month and get a playmate for Jack at the same time.
Money saved this month- $260 and it's only day one!
About Me
- Jacks Mom
- Portland, Oregon, United States
- I am on a quest, like everyone to spend less money. Our family has tightened the belt on our spending but it seems we break even each month. My quest is to put a significant amount of money away every month in savings and still have money to indulge every once in a while.I feel that every experience is a learning experience and I hope that you take the ride with me in this journey to saving money and gaining financial freedom. I'm sure the ride will be bumpy, have it's setbacks, it's embarrassments, but hopefully the end result will be rewarding and insightful.
That is so great! I've started tutoring some kids. They come to my house and it works fabulously. It's been amazing how much those little hours add up!
