Where does your savings/extra money go...?

I'm sorry, what is this "savings account" or "extra money" you speak of?...Show more

We went from having $1,189 left over after all bills (mtg at 800, car at 379, 2 personal loans totalling 300, and all other expenses), to 3 weeks ago having $0 income! After planning a life to allow me to be an at home mom, and hubby supporting us, he lost his job. We are now in a situation, where he will be working part time at walmart, fulltime at the convienient store, 70 hours a week....with me doing 48-60 hours a week of 12 hour days babysitting, with 3 kids of our own under age 5. That is enough to cover our bills and leave us $54 in the hole monthly. Prior to this we were living very nice, without worries. Just goes to show that a decade of planning and living careful can blow up in your face in 1 instant. Dont worry sweetie. Love what you have, cherrish the moments together, and on the bad days, take a drive and know it could be worse. If you hit rock bottom, look up and climb girl....Show more

Two separate savings accounts. One is my personal account, and the other is a joint account with my fiance. It's our wedding fund. It's gonna hurt to drop all that money all at once!

The rest of my extra money I end up blowing on crap I don't need. I have clothes in my closet with the tag still on!...Show more

I believe by definition "extra money" would be
reserved for those in Bill Gates level of income
as in:
those that have more than one can spend in
one's lifetime

as for myself, without even the hope of having
"extra" I do try to allocate a bit now and again
to just fun

edit:
as to your list of possibilities...
who's been talking 'bout me?...Show more
