Cutting Costs

Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes


I have really been trying hard to cut my costs around the house. Last year I took a pay cut, and things have been really hard on me. I have tried to find another job that paid more, but I haven’t had any luck yet. I guess I should feel lucky that I am staying afloat, but living paycheck to paycheck with absolutely no wiggle room is getting old. I’ve been looking for ways to cut back that won’t be so painful. One of the things I’ve been considering is scaling back my Dish TV package. I’m not sure how much I’ll save, but even $20 a month might make a difference at this point. I’ve also been trying to cut coupons after I was inspired by the show “Extreme Couponing”. I don’t think I have as much time as the women in the show have for clipping and organizing, but I figure I might be able to save a good amount if I try a little harder. I am just so tired of being worried aboutmoney, and I am dying to be comfortable again. At this point, I don’t care what it takes.
