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.

Mine is about 55k annually. We are lucky to rent from my parents and save a ton buy we definitely don’t have the funds for fun, spending money. We live in the middle of nowhere in Ohio. I’m new to being a stay at home mom and I’m super nervous trying to survive off just my husbands income. I could get another job if needed but childcare expenses make it seem not worth it. Luckily we are pretty self sufficient when it come to meat and I want to get into gardening come spring. Along with milking goats. There are some luxury things we could cut out, like WiFi, coffee, getting takeout, etc.
