[quote=Anonymous]None of us have door dash or anything like that so we don’t spend money on food delivery. We never ate out twice a week—that’s a lot for our family. We get takeout every other week, restaurants are for special occasions (20+% tip adds so much to the already large bill). My teens surprisingly don’t care about brand name clothes so we get away with a lot less there. I dye my own hair and do my own nails, but I’ve always done that. We do use the library but I also love supporting authors and local book stores by buying books. Going out for ice cream/boba is more like once every 3 weeks. We pack our own lunches and brew our own coffee. Again we have pretty much always done this. Spouse and I didn’t come from a wealthy childhood so this type of thing is ingrained in us.

It still feels like spending a ton all the time between $300/week for groceries and all the activities for the kids that we pay for but we have a nice cushion as well thanks to decades of being balanced. Try to find a balance that works for you. Pick your priorities and reduce in other places. [/quote]
