- $700

Actually it is probably a whole lot more than that, electric bill $200, packaging for 400 lbs of cow $272, truck payment and groceries would be nice. Good news is we sold the four wheeler, the money wasn't supposed to be used as income but work is super slow right now. Any money we did have saved wasn't yet a months income. So the 4 wheeler will go and maybe we will have $500 to put into our emergency fund. We are following Dave Ramsey's advice, baby step #1 $1000. I am waiting for a loaf of bread to finish baking so the kids will have something to put their tuna fish in between. I don't care for tuna fish without celery but oh well. I think I will sneak a little apple and onion in there and top it with some spinach. I made granola bars today but there weren't a big hit. They will still go in their lunches because if they are hungry they will eat it. I take pride in stretching the staples and scrounging for a few bucks for eggs, butter and milk. Today my husband and I decided we could take or leave wine and beer but not coffee, today was the first time in 13 years that he came back from the store with Folgers- we have always ground our own.
