Current Finances - Financial Management

Would you say you are:

Very financially stable, with a hefty savings (or investments).
Pretty financially stable with a good sized nest egg.
Doing okay and not quite struggling, but not much in the way of savings/investments.
Living paycheck to paycheck with not much of anything left over.
Struggling to make ends meet.

Doing okay and not quite struggling, but not much in the way of savings/investments.

We're able to put a little in savings each month so I'm happy about that

hmmm we're ok...we're paying for two households right now as my house in Illinois sits empty on the market for months and months and I have not been working for about a year now cause I was in an unpaid internship and then california has been a black hole for employment. I've just now ran out of my personal savings though...and now we're pulling a little from his reenlistment bonus. Once I get a job, even with two households we'll be perfectly fine. Right now things are just a little tight, but we're certainly not going into debt paying for anything thankfully.

Pretty financially stable with a good sized nest egg. We were able to save a bunch while DH was deployed,but now that he's home money is going quicker than I would have wished. We are starting to incur expenses we never had to before (cell phones, we just bought a brand new car, car insurance, etc.)

We're living paycheck to paycheck right now. Hopefully things will start moving here soon!

Paycheck to paycheck right now. We have under $200 in savings. But we are cracking down on ourselves.

Pay check to pay check but working hard to get out of that debt.
