How do you and your hubs manage your bills? I just feel like we can’t get ahead for anything 😫

@tiredmom, thank you!

@tristansmama2015 it's hard but it works.

I don't do anything special. I just pay bills when they are due. Hubba always says I need some kind of system...

@tiredmom, that helped me

Cut out all nonessentials, stopped eating out, stopped buying stuff that wasn't 100% necessary, bought store brand of the stuff we did need, and paid every bill as soon as I came in and put extra on it. Did that for a few months now we're way ahead.

We get paid every 2 weeks and we make decent money it’s just I feel like we can never be caught up for some reason. I think we eat out too much while we’re working. And I want to coupon but I don’t know where to start! Thank you for the advise 😊

Keep record of everything, at the end of the month see how much we spend on food and stuff and start budgeting by necessity. Buy things on sale, always make sure we have enough for min payments of cards (we only have like three). Kids stuff always comes before our stuff. If you guys work, pack food for work.

There’s a lot of stuff you can do that will cut back on where your money goes. Oh and couponing.

Now if it’s not being able to afford bills, call the places and see if you can set up a payment plan. Like the first and third week of the month so that a huge lump sum doesn’t get taken out.
