In reply to Molly. Oh, TOTALLY true. I'm such a fan of giving it to Goodwill.... but I could sell it if I had more will. :)

This probably falls under extra income, but sell stuff! I think most Americans have stuff they don’t actually use anymore, and it can add up. We took the time to go through all our belongings and figure out what we don’t need. We took extra clothes to a consignment store and sold larger items on Craigslist, such as bikes, TV’s, random pieces of furniture, and other electronics. As a result, our house is much cleaner and we have some extra money.

In reply to Sierra. Temping is a great idea! My husband has a part time job lined up at the Community college.

In reply to Linda/makedoanddiy.com. I do think that going to the store as little as possible is a HUGE money saver. In fact, I've stopped going to Walmart as often beacuse there's SO much to buy. I'd rather get in and out of the grocery store and get on with it.

In reply to M.

Haha… well, the good news is that you FOUND me! I feel lucky to have you. And that is all good advice. It’s important to realize it’s temporary. 🙂 I try to be excited for what our future holds. I emphasize try. 🙂
