How Some Other People Do It

Interested in living more frugally without commiting to a class like Financial Peace University? Clicking anywhere on this paragraph will take you to a first hand account of how one family has adjusted their budget or (what we around here call) a spending plan.

Some of the Heida family's planning might be drastic for people -like NO money alloted for entertainment and eating out. There are some realistic examples here though for anyone struggling on how to make choices on what stays and what goes. The fact that they have purchased (unfortunately using credit) a new piano for their daughter shows the uniqueness of each family when making a plan. No two families will have the same priorities ... other than hopefully keeping your actual needs (shelter, utilities, food, transportation, and actually needed clothes) in the spending plan and then prioritizing wants using what cash is available AFTER any debt payments are made.
