This month's savings challenge will be to save gas on our cars. I'm wishing that was March's challenge, because we would have saved tons- my husband was out of town during the week almost the entire month, so he hardly used his car at all. It's probably good, though. We can leave that money in the gas fund for our vacation this summer.
Ideas of ways to save on gas for us are consolidating errands, walking instead of driving when possible, and carpooling when possible.
We got some good news this week- my husband got a raise (2%). We're not sure if this will be his annual raise, which usually happens over the next month or two after his annual review (which he hasn't gotten yet), or if it is an additional raise. I will be changing up the budget after it goes into effect. Half of the raise we will put towards emergency savings, the other half will go towards student loan debt.
