spend less money

I can’t believe how quickly cash leaves my pocket. It’s crazy. I can’t hold onto money to save my life. For the love of God, just save it, man!!!

we need to do this. Gas prices, food prices and medical expenses all seem to be conspiring against us! I read today that home heating oil is expected to rise 75 percent this winter!!! We heat with propane, but I’m sure we can expect a similar rise.

All my money seems to go on stupid selfish things at the moment like clothes, makeup and going out. I need to stop this and save more for my last year at uni!

i just got my bank statement for june, and i’m still spending so much a month!

i spent $700…where does it all go?

petrol, cds, clothes, phone credit, and food. that’s a big one.

i’ve been trying to cut down on clothes, though i’m probably still buying more than i need.

1. tan ankle boots from Dotti – $59.95

total: $59.95

I got my coffee maker!
Good move!
No more starbucks, now less blockbuster.
How do I do that?
At least its cheaper than going to the movies. Here in CA it’s $9!

I’ve been spending around $80 a month on coffee. I’ve switched from lattes to regular or iced coffee, so now I’m going to target and getting my own coffee machine.
$24.99 for coffee machine
$9.95 for Starbucks breakfast blend
I’m sure it will be cheaper than $2.80 a day at my local Starbucks.

Where does my money go? Gas, starbucks, dresses and shoes, household items like dish towels, candles, throw pillows, etc. Lotions in every scent, bathing suits (we live by the beach), blockbuster, and workout gear.

buying a lot of crafty stuff lately, and so that is it!

Where does it all go? Our fixed expenses are high, but the money leaks out on lots of little things. I know I can cut back but don’t know where to start or where cutting back is most effective.
