You Know You're on a Budget When…
Being on a budget doesn?t mean you can?t have fun and even make fun of yourself a little bit!
Dave's Facebook fans shared some obvious signs that you might be on a budget ? so many, in fact, that we didn?t have room to note all of the best ones here! Check out some of the hilarious responses, and see how many you can relate with.
Kristen: Your four-year-old asks, "Mommy do we have a coupon for this?" about any item she wants to buy in the grocery store!
Stephen: When you're reading this in your father-in-law?s driveway because you have to glom off of his wi-fi.
Leslie: When you use a coupon for a free hamburger from Mc Donald's and then come home and put your own piece of cheese on it!
Carrie: When you find yourself saying "Dave would not want me to buy that!" and then walk away.
Travis: Your kids are constantly ticked off at Dave Ramsey!
Kirsten: School supplies become birthday presents.
Jeff: You have all the local supermarket ads spread out on the kitchen table, and you begin to strategize your coupons like you're about to invade Normandy.
Micki: You get one leg waxed at a time.
Natalie: You ask yourself, How many shifts will I have to work to pay for this?
Jondelyn: You search on the internet for recipes with ingredients in your pantry.
