Question How much does your husband make

Does anyone have any advice on how we can save money? We make 100k a year, but it feels like we're struggling to make ends meet while saving to purchase a house. Additionally, we need to kickstart a college fund for our child and plan to have another child in a couple of years.

55k before taxes, one income family. Girl, you're getting nail and hair care still 😆. It's only in our budget to get my $35 haircut ONCE a year and my husband cuts his hair and my kids.

There is no savings for us. We spend around $150 a ween at Aldi (not including meat because we raise beef cows). I make everything from scratch and we don't eat out.
