My husband and I made this decision 6 years ago, and thought the first year was very tough until he found a steady job, we made it. We really had to cut back. One thing we did was to tape my daughters favorite shows, that way if she wanted she had something to watch and we didn’t need cable.

We needed internet so my husband could work from his old job in California (we live in Iowa) for 6 months until he found a new job, so we got dial up instead of high speed.

We cut out fast food completely, bought generic brands, and turned our thermostat down to 65 in the winter and we wore sweats and slippers.
