[quote=Anonymous]We still go on family ski trips but they are ridiculously expensive. It's the only time we travel. We didn't go out of town the entire summer. My car is 14 yrs old and my husband's is 12. When we replace our cars, we're buying used cars and paying cash for them. We're also selling our cabin in the mountains that we never go to anymore (kids in sports keeps us here) - and using the money to pay off the rest of our mortgage. Both my husband and I had jobs as teens and our 15 yr old has a part time job. Our kids are 12 & 14 and we only ever hired a babysitter once! My husband couldn't care less about clothes. I do care, but get most of mine thrifting or occasional purchases. I don't color my hair. We have a lawn-free landscape so pay nothing for yard care (though landscaping it cost more initially). We live far enough out of DC that restaurants aren't that tempting - we maybe go out to eat 1-2 times per month. What do I miss? Probably travel, but will focus on maybe 2 or so memorable big trips outside of skiiing while our kids are teens. [/quote]
