Tiny House: The Budget
The budget for our tiny house is $31,000. We might end up being over in some categories and under in others, but our goal is to complete the build for $31,000 or less by October 15th.
New Year, New Budget
Our ultimate goal of being debt free has not changed. I've been avoiding writing about any of these topics for a few weeks because I didn't want to admit that we aren't following the program exactly... but the fact is, we're not, and I'm not being honest or transparent if I don't share that part with you.
Using a Budget: Cutting Costs
In my last post, Using a Budget to Get Out of Debt, I shared how we built our budget. However, I didn't share specifics on the amounts we spend because it is different for every family and if I shared those amounts right away you would have said, "there's no way we can live with an $80/week grocery budget" and quit reading. For this post I want to share the ways that we save money on everyday expenses like fuel, groceries, and insurance so we can keep our budget at a minimum and put the maximum amount of money possible toward debt.
