Reply #3: we do live on a budget [View All]

family of 4 living on 75,000 yr.
It does work but some months are tighter than others.
We have utilities on average billing so that helps.
We have a certain amount that we set aside for groceries each month.
It would be hard to live w/ out cable tv and internet but if push comes to shove, we would.
We are not really able to save much. I mean we have a little set aside for emergencies.
We were so much better off 6 years ago making far less money than we do now. I am a bit nervous for the future as every thing is getting more expensive but the raises we receive are not enough to cover the rising cost of gas and utilities.
