$200 for eating out/entertainment? Oh my. $1200 a year for clothes for a whole family?  No charitable giving?[/quote]

Yes, with three young children, we really didn't go out much. And when we went out to eat as a family, it was to places like California Tortilla or pizza. Clothes for kids are pretty cheap, especially at consignment sales. And of course, they got gifts from grandparents and aunts. I'm not a big clothes shopper and I spent all of my days chasing three kids around or going to the parks. My normal wardrobe was a pair of jeans and a sweater. I maybe bought a few new ones per year, bras and underwear on sale at Kohl's. And my husband's wardrobe consisted of khakis and a button-down or collared shirt. He had a dozens of them - didn't need to go on a buying binge each year. Yes, we did give to charity. The last category was actually misc/savings/giving. I just didn't write it out that way. It consisted of what was left over each month. As I said, this worked for us. It wouldn't work for everyone who has different priorities or needs.[/quote]
