I made my goal list like I was solely responsible to get them done. Having goals defined by my values makes the ‘cutting back’ worth it.

The only financial goal that my husband and I have really agreed upon was to put the credit cards away and live on what we earn. In the past our money has been kind of feast and famine. Lately it’s just famine all the time. :D We transferred our credit card balances to our home equity credit line to lower the payments and interest.

We don’t have a ton of “frivolous purchases” to cut back on. But if we can use the list of expenses to plan for things like school fees, taxes, and Christmas (it is all of those once or twice a year things that mess us up) we might be able to keep those cards balances at zero.

My husband on the other hand thinks this is all beyond depressing. Lol.

I started working from home instead of commuting and figured I might get a discount…turns out it was worth $60+ a month off my car insurance bill for driving under 5,000 miles a year.
