USCGBoxerMom 11-30-2007, 07:18 AM We do TSP and then anything left over at the end of the pay period before the new checks come in go right to savings. rosebud* 11-30-2007, 07:40 AM :dunno which is horribly sad. but we do the tsp and we buy savings bongs so that is considered savings to us Kris 11-30-2007, 07:46 AM Right now we are not able to put any money into savings with me not working and trying to pay off some stuff... hopefully in a few months that will change mitziebella 12-01-2007, 07:33 AM We manage to save about 300 a month into our savings, and dh right now only have about 5% going in tsp. he just made E6 so we'll probably raise that as soon as he get paid for it. and also try to raise the 300 to 500 a month. I am working part-time now, but whatever i make will be paying off our bills. All our CC debt should be paid off by Feb, but still have my student loans and one car payment to pay off. I cannot wait to be debt free...Our gold is to do so within 2 years. *Cross Fingers* |
