See how much you need for food and gas and the rest save it till next paycheck or for kids. Or 100$ per week

Meal plan around pantry/freezer items, plan trips to minimize gas usage, remind the kids we’re working towards goals that require sacrifices in the short-term.

You don’t have to have sinking funds. Some paychecks I have them. Some I don’t. I don’t sacrifice essentials to have sinking funds.
