<prompt> Human: This is our current budget. Husband brings home around 1100 per paycheck after taxes and he is paid every other Friday. I have two jobs. I work full time as a pre-k teacher and I am paid every other Friday. My paycheck is 622 after taxes. My second job is part time and I work between 20-25 hours a week. I just got a raise up to 10.88 an hour for the part-time job and I am paid on the 15th and the last day of the month. Retirement and health insurance are taken out of both of our paychecks. We live in a one bedroom, one bath apartment and we are bursting at the seams. Plus we have similar work schedules and its a giant pain to try to get ready in one bathroom in the morning. We are dying to get into a bigger two bed, two bath apartment. MAYBE a three bedroom, two bath apartment if we can swing it. Current rent: 808.60 Our rent is actually 740 but we pay our water and trash with our rentCar insurance: 129.60 for full coverage on two cars Renters insurance: 26.59 My car payment: 283.33 this will be completely paid off by October 2018, yayHusbands car payment: 288.06Sprint cell phones: 186.74 for two smartphones and unlimited data, talk, text Natural gas: 41.13 Electric: 53 This went up to 150 last summer.

Were TRYING to stick to our grocery and eating out budget but its been hard. Groceries: 500Gas: 150Eating outfast food: 100Thats pretty much it. Ive been using YNAB and trying to stick to it to build up some savings. Last month was really the first time we tried to save instead of just spend. Were both spenders my husband a lot more than me but Im desperately trying to change our financial habits and actually save some freaking money. This fall, I am expecting a raise with my primary job but Im not sure how much it will be. Probably around 1.25 more an hour, judging from my last raise. Were also debating whether or not to use my husbands financial aid refund in August to put towards credit card debt or just to keep paying it off ourselves even if it does take longer. Anyway, our current lease is up early September and I want to move into a bigger place. Were looking at two different apartment complexes. One is about 900 and the other is about 1180. The more expensive place is nicer so we would prefer that but I also want us to be able to save money and not be house poor. We have some time to decide but I just want to start formulating a plan now for saving first months rent and all the other fees. What should we do? Thanks for reading.UPDATE: Thanks, everyone. It was hard to read what everyone wrote but we needed to hear the truth. My husband and I talked about it and we decided to stay in the apartment another year. However, we did agree that if one of us gets a job making much more money by August, we would revisit the idea of getting a bigger place. Im working on becoming a certified teacher in a school system and if I can get a school to hire me by August, my income will more than double. But we also want this credit card debt gone so we will also be considering staying for another year even if I do get a teaching job in a school system.Its late and Im too tired to reply to everyone individually right now. But some people have said our cell phones are too high. They are high because my husband upgraded his phone early and I upgraded from a 16 GB to a 128 GB phone. I was sick of the constant lack of storage. After I have paid my phone off, I plan on keeping my phone for a very long time. I dont need the latest Apple phone every year or two years.As for other things like the streaming services and the gym and gun range, I will talk to my husband about cutting back andor cutting those out completely. I do agree with yall on that but its been hard to get my husband to agree to cutting out the gun range and gym. He says he needs it to stay in shape for his job. As for the streaming services, were both very tired during the week and watching TV is our way to relax and unwind. Not trying to make excuses but thats just the truth. But I will definitely consider dropping two of the streaming services if things dont improve anytime soon with the debt and savings.Thanks again, everyone. You have convinced us to stay in our current apartment for another year.  <response>: With that much debt, you need to stay where you are and not move until its paid off. Moving is expensive; deposits, app fees, furnishing that extra bathroom, utilities go up, etc. Also, that student aid refund you may use to pay off debt is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Thats a student loan that will have to be paid off later; sure, maybe the interest rate is lower than most credit cards but you still arent helping your net worth. Can you look at why youre busting at the seams, aside from minor getting ready annoyance? Do you NEED three bedrooms? Or two? Can you compromise and stay where you are for another year and then move in one year once youre in a better financial situation?
