I don’t know about everyone else but I have saved so much no gym, no restaurants, no kids activities, no shopping, at home beauty masks, no nails or eyelashes or massages. I like my new non spending lifestyle. I plan to incorporate a low maintenance lifestyle after this with my new long hair. I’m not even as made up with less pollution hardly any breakouts.

We already have a low spend lifestyle but it's good that you've seen the light. Don't get me wrong doing all those things are fun but it really adds up & effects your life long term when you don't have much money in the bank for savings.

Pay off your debt NOW!!! Save cash! Be frugal. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.

Thank you for your response & for being a resonable person, amazing! We've paid off our debts so i'm really happy to have that crossed off our list. I feel like we should be doing more though. I just can't figure out what that is.

Do you have enough cash for 6 months living expenses without an income coming in?? Can you afford to put an extra % each pay to your superannuation account? Maybe bump it up to 15 or 20% of your income? Are you interested in buying shares? The prices are low, now is a good time to buy. There are companies on the ASX who buy into the top 20 performing companies on the stock exchange. I would invest in those first. Remember that the ASX is only 2% of the worlds stock market, so you may want to consider international shares too.
