[quote=Anonymous]I raised 2 kids on under $65k for 7 years (until 2012) and then raised one on roughly $70-75k until I remarried. My tips are... buy generic Learn to repair and reuse rather than tossing. I got really handy with a sewing needle, spray paint, Gorilla Glue, and so on Buy basic items at Aldi's and Dollar Tree avoid going out (eat at home, watch Netflix) Shop your closets, the thrift store, and Freecycle first --even before looking online dote on your old car and cell phone so they last forever use coupons, rebates, and any discount you can get swap things and small jobs with family, friends, and neighbors Track every penny dilute your shampoo, dishwashing liquid, and laundry detergent. They work just as well at 3/4 to even 2/3 strength During this time, my kids still ate organic eggs and dairy, took trips (including abroad), and got braces. [/quote]
