depends on your spending habits. but at least you have the knowledge that it'll be short term. much easier to cut back for the short term. 1. look at every fixed expense and see how it can be reduced. you can cut back on your cable, your telephone, your cell phone, your car insurance. 2. look at all variable expenses and cut back by a minimum of 10%. groceries, electricity, etc. [ Reply | More
