How can one save more money when they feel they do so much?

How can one save more money? I’m already working full time and my husband is too. But I always feel each and every month I’m stressed over bills. I’m six and a half months pregnant and live in a very small rural community.

I know it’s hard right now with inflation but the only two ways are to increase income or decrease spending. What I did to start budgeting was wrote down every single penny I spent in a notebook for a few months and really tried to figure out what I could cut out! It’s also helpful if your partner is on the same page!

I like that idea

I am with you Amy. It used to be bonus money for a wife to work now it seems mandatory in CA just to survive. Check for phone / mobile subscriptions and call your internet provider to see if they can offer you a deal or tell them you plan to switch providers. If you have dates with your husband to review prior month spending that can help to pinpoint things too.

That’s good idea too.

Hi Amy. I can actually help you with this. I provide financial advice and a spreadsheet to help you track your expenses and pay debt or save. Let me know if you’re interested. I am also a mommy to a newborn and can totally relate with financial struggles specifically while on maternity leave. Mommy life gets complicated in all kinds of ways.

Yes please!!!
