[quote=Anonymous]We are slowing down spending for sure, but still trying to do fun stuff with the kids. We went on a long planned weekend campout, and instead of stopping nearby for pizza one of the nights, did all our cooking at the site. I need to buy new sneakers but I'm just putting it off, and trying to stretch groceries a little more instead of just buying whatever we want. We didn't go quite as all out for our kids' upcoming birthday gifts as we might have, and coordinated with my parents to make sure between us we've covered the items as the top of their lists. I was going to cook all their birthday meals and cakes (except pizza for the party) myself, but now our oven needs repair, so we'll see. I don't know how immediately visible this is at scale. It's not a complete pullback from all spending, just a scaling down and delaying. You wouldn't see us in restaurants on a weekly basis anyway. [/quote]
