The Preschool is a co-operative one, so tuition is pretty cheap, and in return, parents are required to perform many (a ton) of administrative and co-teaching duties. But, the bottom line, is that tuition is affordable for us...$205/mo + materials fee. I think I will look into the pre-paid cell service...I don't use mine that much because we have an unilimited long distance land line (which I use a ton)...I don't like texting, so this could certainly be a way to save $$. Thanks! Gina, Okay, you need to do a post about just this subject…you know so much!

Looking at your "fixed" expenses in the top of your column, remember that you can find ways to save there, too: Cell phone (I switched to prepaid and am savings over $500/yr) Insurance (call your agent to see what other discounts you qualify for; call another company for a competitive quote) Cable/Internet/Phone (make sure you're using what you pay for, or reduce services) Preschool Tuition (you have to get creative here, but there are ways to reduce; I work at my kids' school to receive a discount) You may want to move Auto Maintenance and Life Insurance to your "fixed" category to prioritize them. They're very important! You’re on the right track! Looking at your “fixed” expenses in the top of your column, remember that you can find ways to save there, too:
