So a rundown of our current situation: we rent a way too big house that costs $2300/mo (yes, I know big mistake). Our combined monthly income is about $6850 and our lease is expiring in June. We have looked at buying options, renting, apartments, townhomes, etc. but we are wanting to tone down our expenses to save over the next year or two so we can put away money to buy a house.
I’m starting back at school in a month and that will be an out of pocket expense for a bit until I get my grades back up (about $1200 a semester).
Any ideas besides the obvious stop eating out and a smaller rental? I’m picking up some secondary work through my current job in May that will help some, but it kinda hit us all at once how needlessly expensive our lifestyle has been.
