Nevertheless, it is prudent to always live within your means. I have always tried to do so and when it comes to decorating I am constantly looking to repurpose items I own already and it keeps things interesting, although it would not be easy to find items you own to use as bar stools perhaps visit garage sales, craigslist of course, flea mkts...maybe find single mismatched ones and paint them the same color?A room with a viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03223202837487135747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322667364975958308.post-12953852387567249042011-08-28T17:19:06.025-06:002011-08-28T17:19:06.025-06:00My husband is a teacher and we had similar concern...My husband is a teacher and we had similar concerns earlier this year. Fortunately for us, our house was on the market and sold.<br /><br />Now when people ask "Did you move to a bigger house?" I say, "Smaller house, smaller mortgage!" and they totally get it! :)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457341505581177673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322667364975958308.post-36665834368601995682011-08-26T17:09:45.313-06:002011-08-26T17:09:45.313-06:00So scary, Suzy!

Wish we had the funds to do everything now, but I find budgeting and saving and do things slowly seems to be key since leaving my job to stay at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322667364975958308.post-35699618090241624302011-08-26T07:43:47.014-06:002011-08-26T07:43:47.014-06:00Un-Extreme Couponing!!

There are so many catalog items I'd love to have but I'd rather save money and appreciate another man's trash. My hubby's office may be moving so we're not sure what we're going to do or be in a year.Holly Gruszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562245870313515897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322667364975958308.post-85172951468208660792011-08-26T06:51:08.833-06:002011-08-26T06:51:08.833-06:00That's funny you mention this job insecurity t...That's funny you mention this job insecurity thing...My husband works for a gov't agency and is always at risk of getting cut. It's made me always live with a certain amount of fear and I just hate it! I agree that it's better to be thoughtful about how we spend, though....Carol-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971833343080910423noreply@blogger.com
