Ok, so rough couple of weeks. My boss cut out all overtime for the rest of the year, our department is WAY over budget. So, that was the money I was using to pay down my debt. Which of the following would you recommend to offset? I'm not really fond of either option and am trying to find a 2nd job instead, but just in case.

#1 - to refi my students loans - paid 1.5 years out of 10, refi would be for 20 years cutting my monthly payment in half - save $100/month but would be paying a lot longer
#2 - stop contributing to my 401k - save $150/month

That’s awful.

Can you pick up a second job to replace some of the OT, and do some budget trimming and keep everything going?

Congratulations Jen, she's gorgeous!


Just started my free trial of YNAB. Confusing as all get out at first but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now.

Budget totally busted. DH's 205,00 mile Honda CRV's engine died. We are buying a 2014 CRV tomorrow. Putting down 7k and financing the remainder. Hope everyone is chugging along.

@Ngwira No, not a Honda..... but in all seriousness, that really sucks. I'm sorry.

It lasted 205,000 miles!!! That's amazing. We're buying another one and will run that into the ground. Good news is that the dealer allows up to $7,000 in credit card funding! Guess who just met her minimum spend for her AMEX BB Plus. Plus I will also put some of that 7k on my Chase Freedom Unlimited so I'm getting UR from the spend.

You might want to rethink that 2014 CRV. That particular model year has had a history of major problems.

Really? Any link?

I just checked and it looks like the 2015 has the most problems.
