I was thinking about creating a budget for us to follow.

That's a good idea. I think we should also look at cutting back on our spending wherever we can.

I know, but it's hard to cut back when we're used to our current lifestyle.

That's a good place to start. And we can also try to find ways to bring in more income.

Yes, that's definitely something to consider. We can start brainstorming together and come up with a plan.
