finding ways to cut back even more

Since I live with my mom and my sister, being on the same page when it comes to energy use is sometimes hard, but we all want to save money. So today I talked to my mom about energy use and the air conditioner and we are going to try turning it off at 1 pm everyday and using fans instead and we are starting to use less lights and I am plugging all t.v's and related item into a power strip and turning the whole thing off, I am also going to try to turn the computer off at 5 pm everyday and see if it lowers the bill any. My goal is to get it at or below $80 a month. so I will keep posting about progress and ideas. I realized that in order to get out of debt I will have to decide where my money goes and try to cut back I have already found $136 in savings just this month by letting the t.v. and the computer desk go back and canceling the warranty, the catch is that I lost about $400 in income when my dad quit helping me, so I am still in the hole $264 a month but I am climbing out of it. once out of the hole I will then be able to find new ways to cut back so I can get out of debt as well, my total monthly income is $900 a month and I have two kids, this will be my story of climbing out of debt and becoming financialy independent without going bankrupt or falling for those gimmicks that promise overnight success. Stay tuned...
