If I was in your situation, I would set my budget at hubbies income

and something like half the day care income. Any income over that

would be going straight into the savings account for

emergencies. That way, you would have the funds to use in case you

dropped below half capacity of the day care and not have to run up

those credit cards. I know–it’s hard to do. Making small changes

so you gradually get there helps.

Ann in Arkansas, still making my own small changes, and seeing them

working for me. 😀
