DH & I both take $100 a week to use towards "personal" things. We rarely go out to dinner or to the movies, just so we can save that extra cash. Groceries & Gas are put on our CC & paid at the end of the month.
Groceries $75 x 4=$300
gas for me $35 x 4= $140
Gas for dh $15 x 4= $60
Metrocard for dh = $76 a month
Ezpass for DH = $105 (usually a month but depends on DH's work travel)
All our savings money comes out of DH's paycheck. We usually have more then $3500 left at the end of the month
$3,500!!!!! That is amazing. How do you do it? With a house and 2 kids, we can barely save anything.
DH makes considerably more then me & is able to stash away the cash. Right now, we use my salary to pay the bills with the exception of the mortgage & car payments. DH is in sales but not strictly commissions. At the end of a good month, there is always extra money laying around. His paychecks do vary from week to week, but we always know what we can count on. The extra money goes directly into savings.
we are in the same situation, DH is also in sales. Some months we bank other months just but we always can count on some money being saved!!
