Great ideas, Survivor Dad. Thanks! I also think it's important to pay yourself first with your automatic 401k deductions (tax free) and automatic debits to your investment account - money never seen but saved builds up fast!
I've found the biggest money saver for us is paying our bills weekly by direct debit, just a little bit every week, that way when our bills arrive we're already in credit. In 6 months I've gotten all of our utilities at least 6 months worth in credit. We wish we had more in our savings (don't we all?) but we know that if something were to happen, we have *at least* six months of mortgage and utilities waiting to be used. You just don't notice the money gone each week if it's in small amounts.
Wow! I am doing all those things! I must be on the right track! My friends and I have started a collab channel called TheStayAtHomes! I'm the only stay-at-home dude though. I would love for you to visit our channel, after you check out my regular channel (hehe). What you guys are doing here is awesome!!!
Great vid.
