Well you are off to a good start by reading this sub-forum. There is a lot of solid information on this particular site. It is good that you are doing this with your wife and that y'all have established a budget . . . you're way ahead of the curve. The name of the game is common sense. Don't go into to debt and don't neglect your daily life. One thing that helped the wife and I right out of the gate is looking for sales and coupons. With manufacture coupons from the Sunday paper you can save quit a bit of money on everything from canned foods, first-aid supplies, personal hygiene items, et al. If you hit garage sales/flee markets in your area you can score a lot of stuff on the cheap.
