My husband lost his job and while we had enough in savings to get us through for a while, we knew we would have to redo our budget so we didn’t get in trouble. It may take him a bit longer to get a job now that so many others are unemployed too. I am still working, so that is not too big of a concern for us really. I started to redo our budget and made some changes. We changed our mobile phone package and also our auto insurance. He cut back on his training and we started to order cheap supplements over the Internet instead of from the gym. We were able to save quite a bit every month just by doing things like this. The one thing I do miss is eating out a few times a week, but it is a small price to pay to have everything else.
