I haven't figured the best thing thing to do, I've been experimenting stuff which I read from different articles and still I have no luck.

We aren't always the best at that. But, I know it's a good budget when I can look at the calendar and say, hey this is teacher appreciation week at the kids' school, better set aside some extra money for gifts. At least, now that we are out of debt, the little things are coming out of the money we would have put in savings, instead of the money we would have used to pay our bills!
