[quote=Anonymous]I grew up the exact same as you. We certainly aren't rich right now, but have a HHI of $300k. We are both 30yo so definitely have quite a few career moves to make still hopefully. We have an infant and a toddler. Things that will never change- -I refuse to pay for daycare. I only work 20hrs per week and flex it to when the kids are napping/weekends/evenings. -My kids only wear hand-me-down or used clothes/shoes/coats. -90% of our toys are also used or hand-me-downs. -We eat out once per week and I've never increased our grocery budget ($125/week). I refuse to bleed money on food. -I will always use my coupons. -We will always have safe, reliable vehicles but nothing luxury or over the top expensive and DH handles all the maintenance himself- oil changes, spark plugs, brakes, etc[/quote]
