We have installed a wood stove to take advantage of the dead ash trees on our land. We only have 1 TV and go to bed early (wake up at like 4 am) and we leave no lights on to keep our bill under $200. both our cars are paid for and have over 160k miles each. We don’t pay anyone to do anything maintenance wise i use to be a mechanic so we fix our own cars and house. My dad gets our daughter off the Bus so no daycare. We don’t eat out or buy lunch anymore. I will eat leftovers that’s like 2 weeks old (wife thinks i’m gross) but i look at food like it’s $$ not something fun. We eat simpler now. (i’m tired of chicken i want steak!) Still have money for weekend beer though. Thanks for reading
