After being disappointed for a few days about the loss of opportunities, we decided to start looking at the bright side of things and start working towards our goals. One goal we have is to be debt-free and we have been working hard on figuring out how to do that, especially now considering Ryan's employment may not change anytime soon.
We have started a budget, are cutting out all credit in our lives (besides a van loan that finishes in February and our mortgage), and are going to live as frugally as possible! So, yes, returning to menu-planning, only this time choosing only budget-friendly meals, cutting out everything but necessities, and figuring out wherever we can trim back and doing it.
So if any of you have any tips, websites, book suggestions - anything - please pass them on! We want to make our goal a reality!

Hi Teresa: Good for you guys to move forward and have a plan. I'm huge on frugal living - using God's money wisely. My humble suggestion would be to track all spending in columns....write everything down - even dollar store purchases. One website that comes to mind is www.thesimpledollar.com There is a wealth of good information on this website. Hope this helps some.
