Default Re: My Money Crisis-Help Please

Stop going out for dinner. How old are your kids? Why can't they help with dinner? They could wash and cut up veggies, make salad, set the table, etc before you get home. Get a crockpot and throw in chicken, beef, pork, whatever you like before you leave for work. Or, if no time in the morning, then make it at night and put on the crockpot before you go to bed so it is cooked by morning. Then, you can refrig ang reheat when you get home.
Dump the cell phone. Buy a prepaid phone to keep for emergencies and stop talking on the phone as much.
Personally, I wouldn't disconnect the cable. That is often the advice given but I would keep the TV. And, if you disconnect and later reconnect, it will cost you another installation fee.
