Well, as much as somebody who works full time is ever able to be. I know grocery shopping doesn’t sound like a lot of fun when you go away on vacation (you’re probably dreaming about not having to do that!), Even buying pre-made salads and entrees at the grocery store is substantially cheaper than eating out.

My husband is an extremely hard worker as he works and goes to school full time. It was the first time we consistently told ourselves NO to purchases. No new clothes, no vacation, no extra anything. We started cooking at home more, a big issue for us was eating out. We were sticky on a spending freeze.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). We have a lot of free parks and nature reserves for hiking, and a wonderful library system that does free Inter Library Loans as well as lots of e-books.
