I know it's going to be hard for you to get a part time job with 3kids, but if you want to save and pay bills, you have to earn more. Check this website, it might help you in the future.

1. Doll yourself up and find a well to do mate.
2. Go back to school for a trade that pays well.
3. Make a budget and stick to it.
4. You will have to deny yourself and the kids for a while so hang in there.
5. Find cheaper housing
6. Get friends and family to help while you find that mate and go to school.
7. Work two jobs, one of which is easy. Find a cheap but reliable babysitter.
8. Go on line and find work there.
9. Get busy and get the money now!
10. Cold canvas--Knock on a company's door or call human resources and ask if they are hiring.
And good luck!
You go girl... you can do it!

use cash for everything. everytime you get chance...get into it every night or at the end of the week and take out the $1 bills and set them aside....yes these are like the new penny...continue to do this and you will see how quickly they add up. Every now and again take a $20...like once a month..you can do it...and just set it aside without thinking.....put it with the $1's. Now, when you are "down and out" get into this money and pull out $30 or $40 bucks. I bought one of those fireproof boxes from Kmart/Walmart and locked it in there for safekeeping. Take all your change and keep it in a jar.

Easy. Make saving the first priority not the last. Try saving 10 percent as the first thing out of your income, then start worrying about other things. Most people don't realize how much they spend on stuff they don't really need.

If it is a goal and it is important to you, you can make it happen.

1-make a mold so you can microwave all your little pieces of soap into one bar!
2-Turn down your heat to 48...Just enough so your pipes dont freeze, and bundle up yourself and the little ones!
3-Dont use lights...Save all of your muttonfat and make candles, thats about 3000.00 na year right there!
4-get up three hours earlier and bike to work...
5-since your not using your car, buy seeds and bulbs with it, a cow, and raise pigs. This will save on your food bill!
6-Buy all clothes at the sally for the kids!
Hope this helps!

Well, my husband and I were sort of in the same position and living check to check. I didn't want to leave my kids all the time, so I searched for a way to make money from home. I started out part time around my other schedule. Now my husband was actually able to quit his job and stay home and help me. The company is great and offers 401k, benefits and full training and support. I love what I do and it has been invaluable in changing our financial situation from OK to great. If you are the sort of person who enjoys helping others, I would love to share more details with you.

You're not alone. I had to watch prices, and buy the best value for money stuff. I had to figure out what I "needed," and put back what I "wanted." Still we are struggling. We never eat out, make our own cleaning products, way cheaper. We don't buy microwave stuff, and still take our lunches to work. You'll just have to search the Internet for good practical tips and tricks. Best of luck.

open a savings account and try to put in at least 20 dollars every pay check....if you can save more go for it, if you have to do less, then make sure the savings gains some interest.
