our utilities are high? maybe really high it seems
house payment is only 770, but utilities are 300ish between gas and elec, water is another 50. car payment is 280ish, plus ins is another 100 a month , then phone/cable/internet is 120, cells are 60 for both (not a necessity, but i have to drive 30 min one way to take liam to school, so they are something that i value -- we dont pay extra for the 2nd.) Gas is currently killing me. The recent gas hike increased our gas payment by 50.00 per month, bringing it up to 450, and then there is food and more, so lets see thats 2160 before any debt other than the house and car, and no food. We also have a YMCA membership and blockbuster on demand. The Y is something that we use a lot and something important for the summer (Liam doesnt really get OT in school and we use the Y basically as physical therapy/OT during the summer ymca is 59 and Blockbuster i think we are still paying 14.99 but would need to check-- it may have gone up to 17.95)
There are a few cuts we could make, but as far as house and vehicle, I think we made budget decisions are are not above our means in those ways. The gas is honestly slowly killing me, but it is worth it to have Liam in the right school environment. I may post some more details in the SnT private discussion area, because it is getting to the point that I need help, and am not sure what to do.
