Our monthly household net income is $3,750. If I am correct, with this guideline in place, we would have $3,000 per month to live on for a family of six. We have no credit cards, but we are paying on two vehicle loans. We also have past-due medical bills of about $1,000 and property taxes of $2,600 per year. How do we make it all work and come out with a decent savings? -- Lisa W., e-mail Dear Lisa: Your situation is chal- lenging. Since 1992, I have devoted my life to helping people just like you learn how to manage their incomes so they can cover their families' needs while living below their means. It's not easy, but I promise you that your situation is not hopeless. If I did not believe that with all my heart, I would have gone back to teaching piano lessons and selling real estate. Lisa, I believe that the hope for you and your fami- ly is in the princi- ples of Debt- Proof Living. It's a simple five-step money management sys- tem that is based on the 10-10-80 formula you mentioned. This column is like a tiny sample of what Debt-Proof Living is all about. Like a sam- ple you get at the super- market, it's good, but it's not enough. It won't sat- isfy your hunger. I am inviting you to Mary Hunt do two things: First, you need to read my book "Debt-Proof Living." It is the complete Debt- Proof Living plan between two covers. Then you need Everyday Cheapskate to become a member of Debt-Proof Living Online. (Visit http://www.DebtProofLiving.com for both the book and membership.) This requires a financial commit- ment of as little as $10 for a three-month membership, or you can opt for a sub- stantial discount for a two- year membership. I know what you're thinking: "Mary, you should do all of this for us for free!" And my response is simple: You will not value what does not cost you anything. Besides, my staff and my family like to eat. What we do represents a full-time commitment for many people. Managing money, get- ting out of debt and living below your means may be the hardest work you ever will do, but I promise it will be a joyful journey.
