RE: Budgeting for fall.
no major changes. I will hunt every chance I get and wherever I feel I need to be. Yea I may be stuffing a deer in little tiny hatchback, but so what.
That said, my job schedule will actually be saving me money as I won't be able to make far(if anywhere at all) after work to hunt. But I'll make up for that driving 200 mi round trip to ohio every sunday(or more)

RE: Budgeting for fall.
I'm extremely fortunate in several ways... The company pays for my fuel, our lease,and gave me a company truck that is for personal use as well. I definitely don't abuse it and pay for my gas on the weekends, even though it's not expected. I guess I learned most of my "cash savers" in college, so here are a few.
4. Depending on how much you eat out, limit it. If you can pass up two meals a week (call it $12) at the restaurant, you'll save about $170 between now and then. If you have a family, it'll be more than that... plus the fuel you use to get there.
3. Drop the supercharged cable package at a minimum, most people can cut $15 a month... another $60 before season.
2. Plan your errands, plan where you're going and make one trip to get everything done. Multiple trips add up.
1. And Dubbya's number budget tip (learned in college of course) BUY CHEAPER BEER!!!!
No, but seriously it's the little things that you can do that help out. Turning up the thermostat in the summer by 2 degrees can save you somewhere around $25 a month.

RE: Budgeting for fall.
I have a 45 minute commute to work and instead of driving 75 i now drive 60, takes me a whopping extra 5-10 minutes of drive time, but it saves me in the long run. Trying to quit dipping but I believe I'd rather give a left testicle instead. Also started a credit union account at work it's now JP's hunting fund, 100.00 a month.
