The household budget for our family is $400 a month and includes all groceries, household products, diapers, health and beauty, clothing, gifts, decorations and newspapers. A little on the lean side? Perhaps, but it works for our family. Whether your number is $300 or $1000, you should do what works for your family.

Before I started blogging I would earn about $10 a week for a couple hours of time with these programs. Here are the monthly totals for the online programs that I use most often for rewards:
Inbox Dollars: updated monthly
Inbox Pays: updated monthly
Ipsos Survey Panel: updated monthly
MyPoints: updated monthly
RewardPort: updated monthly
Swagbucks: updated monthly
Zoombucks: updated monthly
Total Money Made: $80.00
Money saved this week: $30.17 + $80.00 = $110.17 This means $141.24 of my husband’s salary saved (click here to see how I get this amount)
I am about $27 over for this month and I was about $5 over for last month. I should be able to balance this overage out in November by being under budget.
