Well, long story short we had at the young age of 23 saved/invested/inherited nearly $30k. Started a construction bus. this time last year. Now we’re down to $7K. YIKES. Can’t make a downpayment on a home with it. My plan is to be more aware of my spending on “fun” things (ie : aquarium trips/Disney yearly/several kids summer camps). Also to be aware of gas and extra driving which I am very guilty of. Then there is def. eating out. I hope in one year to see a savings of about $3000.00. Any other suggestions and also what’s a good alt. to small amount CD’s? $50,000 in savings here I come!
