A few years back, my extended family took a trip to Holland, Michigan. My family loves watching movies and tv series together, and having regular game nights. As an adult, it’s important to me to continue to be generous, as well as, provide financial security for myself and my family. A freebie cabinet.

In my free time I enjoy canning and preserving food (well, I enjoy the results of it, ha!),

We spend most of our time seeing friends and family, participating in our church activities or working on our property. but can use our money to enjoy life now and meet our family’s needs while still being responsible for the future 5. My husband and I always go out for expensive meals for our anniversaries as well.

If you only run the dishwasher when it’s full, then you end up emptying it at odd times, and then family members never know when the dishwasher will be empty, and they have an excuse not to load their dishes as they go. But the nightly dishwasher-running/hand-washing takes care of them, and then I have a fresh reset.

That would have been just fine, except I also decided I wanted to buy a fancy car and go out to nice meals a bunch with my boyfriend at the time. We make regular trips to visit family, but don’t really do any other traveling. Needless to say, my restaurant manager salary didn’t support the life I was trying to live.

Most of my evenings/weekends are just hanging out (largely at home and in the yard with my family). Second, coming from poverty, I am so grateful to be able to help my family when they need things. If it was truly a windfall that was not spoken for, I’d use it to visit my family several states away or pay for the to visit us 10.

We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. Aside from those exceptions, we did all the work ourselves and with the help of family. My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids. Go figure.
