i was trying to save $100 a week to go towards a downpayment on a house, then my fiance's car died and we had to buy him a new one. i had to cosign so he could get it, and this is his first car thats not on his mom's insurance so the insurace payments pretty much tripled.
so now i have to figure out a budget for us so that we can start saving again, yet still make the payments (we went from no car payments and only $175/mo in insurance to $325 car payments and $300/mo in insurance). i still have to worry about credit card payments (i pay those on my own) and we still need to keep saving up for a house. we're getting married in 1.5 years and i would like to be able to get a house before then! help! because of this, i havent been able to save my $100/week for a month now.
i have no clue where to start on the whole budge making thing. i started 2 days ago making a list of everything we spend money on for the next month, but what to do after that? or before that? lol. help!
