Floating bills. Last month was phone service. It's actually currently cut off. This month I'm floating my medical insurance and medications. Next month is internet and car insurance. (additionally I've cut all discretionary spending, driving up to my home town to see my parents, and have cut 1 to 2 meals a day.)

I could get rid of my dog Zoey but she's literally the only reason I get out of bed these days. So that's a none starter. (single male, looking for the DINKWD life style. Any active women in Colorado in their 40s/30s looking to split bills? 🤣😂)
