[quote=Anonymous]We live on less than that, and we travel, eat out, buy stuff when we need it, have a pleasant, small-ish house in a nice neighborhood, have cars and pets. How do we do it? We are very, very thrifty. We don't splurge on anything. We have a vegetable garden out back, we drive older cars, we buy pretty much everything on sale or at TJMaxx or Costco or online as cheaply as we can find it. I sew and furnished our house with antiques and Ikea furniture. I love thrift shops and yard sales, where I've found some nice things that I fix up (lamps seem to sell for pennies). I buy stuff used (cars, in particular). When we travel, we stay with family and friends. We eat at nice, mid-priced restaurants that we research, we get discounts when we can. We don't have a budget, but we live well within our means. I don't think our kids realize how little money we live on because we have nice stuff and do lots of things--just nothing expensive![/quote]
