How Can I Save Money?
Tuesday, Jul 21, 2009
Question: I have a question about saving and paying off debt. Right now, my husband and I have no bills except credit cards and loans, totaling about $5K. We don't pay rent, car payment, utilities, etc. The only thing is the CC and loans. But here is the catch, I don't work, I'm pregnant with our second child, and my husband doesn't make enough to cover the bills. How Can I Save Money? How can we manage paying our bills and trying to save money with such a low income? We haven't payed the CC or loans for about 3-4 months, because it just seems unaffordable with his salary. Please give us some advice.
Answer: With your husband’s relatively low income and the fact that you are currently unable to work, I can understand that saving money must be quite difficult at this time. I do not know the details of your family’s expenses, so I cannot tell you where you may be able to cut back in order
to help in saving money.

If you find that you and your husband simply cannot afford to save money with your family’s limited income, you may have no choice but to wait until your financial situation improves. For example, once you are able to return to work, your additional income should make saving money more feasible for your family.
