I've been doing some math lately and have been wondering;
how many dollars a week can a family live on?
Not including any recurring expenses (mortgage, cell phone, utilities, insurance, student loans, etc), how many dollars a week does a family need to feed themselves, feed their pets, put gas in their car and maybe have a little fun?
Well every family is different...but we have been doing the Dave Ramsey program for a few months now and we've found that we can live on much less than we thought we needed. We only buy things with cash and set a budget each week. Once the cash is gone...it's gone! And yes, this is hard for a food blogger to get used too:)
ReplyDeleteThis Sunday starts the first week of our cash budget. I think it is going to be pretty tight, but we'll see how it goes. I too think we could live off of much less than I think.
