[quote=Anonymous]I grew up poor with a divorced working Mom (I was a latchkey kid), while DH had plenty of money. But, we see eye-to-eye on what's reasonable and what's wasteful, so we rarely argue about spending. I am frugal with children's clothes - I love hand-me-downs and I pack away older one's things for younger one. We eat at home a lot for both cost savings and family time. I'd much rather hit up Craigslist or Goodwill than buy retail for household, furniture, sports eqt. etc- not least for the challenge of it! I've redone small pieces of furniture myself. We attempt to fix things ourselves before calling in pros. But I splurge on travel, both to see parents and extended family who all live away, and on family vacations. DH has many electronic toys - Sonos speakers, plasma TV. [/quote]
