Austin and I want your budgeting ideas!
We have successfully done our bachelor's and first year of grad school (we just call the law and nursing adventures that. Gets too complicated.) with a budget that worked. As you may have heard, we are moving to a place that will save us around $200 a month. Austin can work a bit more, and I will be working less. Nursing is a lot of money. And so is law school. So now the both = craptons.
My classes for four semesters will be in Cheyenne. On the bottom right corner, you can see what I will travel to get to class. Laramie to Cheyenne. That = major $$$ in gas. I do plan on finding a carpool as 1/4 of the class travels from Colorado (crazy right??), and some from Laramie. We also have to take into account some hotels once in a while due to lovely Wyoming weather.
So as you can see, we are doing what we can as far as living spaces, working, and travel costs. We also only use internet, do not use data plans, and do not do cable or anything like that. We have a very basic budget plan. This is where we need your help!
What do you do as far as food and stretching your groceries, electric bill, reusing things, planning dates and stuffs......entertainment for those rare times we get free time?
Anything. I even crochet my rags with left over craft yarn to save $3 haha!
The biggest thing we need help with is how do you keep yourself fed on the go? I do have a McDonald's free meal everyday so that helps. Both of us are gone gone gone all day and I will be an hour away from home each day and require lots of food lol. Do you freeze meals? Package everything for the week in the fridge? Is there a lunchbox tupperware you like? Anything?
Another thing we want to work on is a 72 hour kit for the car. What do you keep in your car in case of emergencies?
I am a huge Pinterest fan, and I want to know if anything you guys have tried have actually worked. Send your pins to me!
Ready Set Go!
And mucho appreciated, Sending all our love!
xoxo from Wyoming
