I lost my job a few months ago. I kind of knew it was coming, and I was genuinely miserable at that job. I had considered quitting dozens of times. I honestly think I manifested it somehow. Anyways....
I'm now working a different full time job. I'm MUCH happier; I'm treated kindly and respectfully plus I have actual health insurance (last job only provided a "health share" program), but I'm starting at just a little over 50% of what I was making before with the potential to grow with the company.
What are some immediate cuts that I should start making? I obviously cancelled things like Netflix and paid streaming. My rent is pretty reasonable and seems doable at this time. I've called my car insurance and cell phone providers to negotiate the bills. I think I struggle the most w groceries (abt $300 every 2 weeks for 2 people, 2 dogs, and 3 cats). My fiance also helps with household expenses. What are some "frugal tips" that maybe haven't crossed my mind?
TIA! Yay for mental health!
