Planning A Household Budget
When planning your household budget, before becoming a stay at home mom you should ask yourself: How much does it cost you to work?
Working actually costs you money – just think of transportation, food and clothing costs, and now, childcare.
So make sure to weigh the benefits of working, against the potential benefits of staying home.
They key to make either situation work is saving money.
For example try to cut back on eating out.
Limiting the amount of time you drive can significantly cut back your transportation and gas costs
And finally scope out the thrift stores for kids clothing, you’ll be surprised the treasures you can find. And all for a fraction of the price of retail stores!
