My boyfriend and I have a 1.5 year old and are struggling a lot right now! I find whenever we do have money we end up spending it...sometimes on stupidness but most of the times it’s like something always comes up when we have a bit saved. It’s very frustrating!!!

I just found out I’m pregnant with our second so I’m feeling very stressed right now. We don’t have a car for a week because it’s in the shop. We literally have no money and we have to somehow fix our car and live. We also realistically need a new car. This car just isn’t a family car. We need to buy a house. We need to get married. We need a lot of important things, but have no savings for it. It’s really stressing both of us out lately.

Any ideas of what we can do? I do honestly find a lot of our money goes to eating out (because we do not go out out together, we don’t buy clothes, I don’t buy makeup, etc.) we literally don’t do anything or buy anything which is why it’s very frustrating!!!

We eat out a lot recently because of how tired I am. I literally feel like I can’t get out of bed some mornings and just laze around. I was thinking of just spending one day batch cooking a lot of food then freezing it so we always have it on hand and aren’t tempted to order out, but our freeze is very tiny, so we would need to buy a stand up freezer...which again, is another expense.

Please if you have any ideas at all...on how to save, how to make quick money, how to plan cheap meals, tips on how to get everything done as a stay at home mama, anything at all, it would Be greatly appreciated!
