[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three neighbors in a row with five kids a piece. From those families, two have SAHMs and the 3rd has two working parents. They live more simply and focus on family and friend entertainment, community events, grilling out and shopping 2nd hand, consignment. I doubt they’ll have much in college funds but they might have some. No one is on aid and their houses are big enough. We have two kids and sometimes I’m a little envious of their large families. And then I remember that while it works for them, it probably wouldn’t work so well for us. Different strokes and all that.[/quote] How do you know if they get family money or Medicaid? Consignment isn’t a huge money saver; new clothing is so cheap now it’s hardly a significant part of the budget — it’s more likely a hobby for the SAHM to find “deals” — hopefully they don’t catch bedbugs.
