Reader Felicia has a question about staying on a staying on budget with a lot of extra expenses and less free time..
Question:
With both my kids headed to school this year I decided it was time to get back to my career (I separated from the Air Force a year ago to go to school and be a full-time mom). I just took a job offer in Philly so I am going to have a bit of a commute, part-time daycare expenses, and less time to coupon. How do working moms/families manage to stay on a tight budget with all of these extra expenses and a lot less free time? I’m terrified I’ll fall back to my old spending habits and not save like I know I can.
Any tips for Felicia? How do you keep to your budget and couponing when time is tight and expenses are rising?
