Are you barely Scraping By

 each month or do you have plenty of money to pay everything?

[alliesmom112]

we are pretty comfortable. We have enough to pay all of our bills and put some in savings at the end of each month. We are very frugal though. I use coupons for everything from groceries to clothes to toys, we rarely eat out and we will shop at garage sales and thrift stores instead of buying new when possible

right now its paycheck to paycheck

This past 6 weeks have been really bad with my dh's boss giving his commision to other worker by pure negligence. We were so tight that we left ourselves with .38cents in the bank for this week. And then DS came down with a 102.8 degree fever last night. Praise God that my FIL had a little extra to get DS's meds this morning for us.

We are very fortunate to be doing well. I don't think we have "plenty of money", but we meet our obligations and budget every month, and usually have a little bit left over for fun. We don't take anything for granted, and I'm thankful that my husband has a good job with excellent benefits.

we were in a tough spot not long ago, now we both work(a lot) and things are easier but we still have that mindset that things arent well(i just dont feel like you ever completely get out of it) so we are still frugal but now are able to save some money and have emergency funds which we didn't for a long time. ((hugs)) i hope things get better for everyone who is struggling!

We are blessed. While I don't consider us "well off" or having "plenty of money" we can meet our needs, send our kids to private school and do a little bit of fun stuff. We count our blessings daily.

We've been there, but we are fortunate now that things are better.  We don't have plenty of money, but we have enough.
