[quote=Anonymous]Big picture:
-Home mortgage qualified for on just one salary, (my) lower salary, 10 years ago.

-Just one kid (not entirely by choice)

Small picture - many things, some of which I no longer do based on where I am now with time and money, some of which I still do:

-Pre-kid, I took a relatively inconvenient transit route to work rather than drive, for the Transit Reimbursement

-Use rags rather than paper towels/disinfectant wipes for all except the grossest cleaning

-Make my own cleaning supplies such as laundry detergent, spray cleaner, shower cleaner, etc

-Run plastic shower curtain in the washer rather than throw it out and replace with a new one

-Make an effort to sell certain items online versus just donate (I don't do this any more - it is a lot of work)

-Used to have a side hustle as a mystery shopper, and got meals reimbursed and some grocery shopping reimbursed and made a small amount of money too.

-Used to, if a potluck, make something I had on hand such as a box of corn muffins. Now, I will bring something healthy that I make for the event.

-Still don't want to pay a lot for lodging that is not my home. And if me alone, I like street food, food trucks, etc. Love to travel but I like budget travel.[/quote]
