[quote=Anonymous]I can’t brag because I’m not perfectly frugal in every way, but here are some things I do: - public schools through high school - no club sports (after one season where we learned that lesson) - no outside tutoring (we do pay for music lessons for 1 kid; older kid does free clubs at school) - thrifting for clothes (not exclusively, but mostly of late; my kids have great style and enjoy it) -many home furnishings handed down or ikea Do our own house cleaning, yard work One car, hybrid electric plug in, expensive but paid off - I (mom) don’t spend much on my own wardrobe, shoes, purses, jewelry, and my husband spends almost nothing. I color my own hair, and would cut it too but my husband doesn’t like it when I do (I think I do a better job than salon) - we bought our house 20 years ago and have a very low interest rate BUT we are considering moving to an expensive area for our kids schools. It would make us house poor! Aaah! I’m so conflicted. [/quote]
