Help! How can we save for a house off one income ?

Question

I am a stay at home mama but I plan to babysit some kids or open an eyelash studio at home and I’m currently in the starting phase of my own little business...but for right now it’s just my husband working.
We have a toddler and another little one on the way. Unfortunately we have so much things to buy for our second as I gave away a lot of things and my toddler needs a whole new bedroom set since baby is going to have the crib 🤦🏻‍♀️
So I’ve been super stressing lately! I’m also EXHAUSTED and in a lot of pain so I haven’t been cooking and as a result we have been eating out...which definitely isn’t helping. We have like $50 in our bank accounts right now. 
Our little one is superrrr picky now since he’s a toddler and literally doesn’t eat anything - so I find myself stressing over that as well. If I were to make quick easy oven meals on days I don’t feel well, chances are he won’t eat it.

Answer

Buy used on almost everything for the new baby and only necessities not wants. 
As far as your toddler,  I was raised you eat what is infront of you. If it were my child they would eat then or wait until the next meal. 
And budget. Get rid of things you don't need. I.e. cable, if you get your nails done, if he buys a lot of fishing stuff, etc...
Writing down your bills and doing the snowball method helps. 
My husband and i worked hard but within one yr we were able to pay off roughly $15,000 in debt. We are now completely debt free. Just bought a new truck and boat in cash. 
I'm not saying that to brag but to let you know you really need to track where your money is going

Answer

I don’t know how to help with the other things but with a picky kid, at some point you’re going to have to put your foot down and tell him that he has to eat what he’s given unless he genuinely doesn’t like it. I work with toddlers and sometimes end up having to fight with them to get them to eat their lunch, I always let them have their favorite item right after they eat the item they didn’t want.

Answer

Ask for your baby stuff back. I’m sure they are done using it now as well. Lots of great comments with tips and tricks.

Answer

Sounds like y’all need to take the Dave Ramsey class. Stop eating out. Stop buying frivolous things - no beer or wine, no fun drinks, no “snacks”. Make your own foods and teach your little one to cook. 
As for the little one being picky, look up Feeding Littles on IG. Stop catering to the pickiness or it’ll never go away.

Answer

One thing my husband and I are doing (similar situation; one income and shm), is the first thing we do with our paycheck is take 10% right off the top and put it into savings. Then we budget the rest. If it doesn’t fit in the budget/isn’t a need it is gone! We also don’t buy anything name-brand at the grocery store and do eat at home. My husband loves to cook, so we do share the responsibility of making dinner. 
We started this at the beginning of this year and we are going to be able to have a 5% down payment for a house at the end of the year. 
My brother and SIL use tele Envelopes system which helps you create and stick to a budget.

Answer

Well stop eating out for one. If I had $50 in my bank account I wouldn’t be buying anything.
Also, why did you give everything away? We’ve got plenty of money in the bank and I’ve thrown away almost nothing so I that we can use it for our second.
