When I got back home I realized that my goal becoming financially free was even more possible now then before I left. Brawn is bringing in lots of money and so am I. I had to figure out how to put the money in the right places so we didn't get spend happy with more money and staying in debt. <br /><br />We decided that it worked best for us to pull out $100 in cash for each of us Monday through Friday. On the weekends we share $100. It has worked out GREAT. Now I always know what we have to spend, it is never a matter of what is in my checking account, but what I have left in my wallet and the left over money goes to the right places. LOVE it!Megan Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686089199082103735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836126043167419098.post-34706077349161436492010-07-08T12:34:29.348-05:002010-07-08T12:34:29.348-05:00Thank you for posting about your budget saving ide...Thank you for posting about your budget saving ideas! I too love TV. We gave up cable and I feel better for it. Now we simply have an antenna which is kind of on the blink so even less TV. I too have too close a relationship with Whole Paycheck. I do get skeevy about chemicals and hormones so I do some shopping there and we are making use of our garden. With a family of six, the bills can stack up quickly.<br />Good luck to you on your journey and I look forward to those recipe posts!<br />Peace,<br />AngelaAngelahttp://www.peachcoglo.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836126043167419098.post-28362820910750771582010-07-07T16:07:41.242-05:002010-07-07T16:07:41.242-05:00I love these ideas.

I am so bummed that we have so much shade in our backyard and I can't have a vegetable garden?<br />Is it tacky to have tomato bushes in the front yard? I think so. Maybe some other bushes are not so 'veggie' looking.<br /><br />For myself, I spend so little on food anyway, but my husband has an expensive taste in cheeses! So surreal since I don't eat any b/c I'm on a Candida diet ;) Maybe I'll learn to make cheese for him ;) lol<br />Great post Shannon.
